HI
I really appreciate your concern, if this is pure fibrosis of lungs then underlying cause of this is very important and chronicity of condition because this may not cause any pain, in my opinion reflux disease of acid need to be managed first, and better to see the pulmonologist hope this information helps, take care have a nice day.
