After taking detailed history and clinical examination 6minute walk test,spirometry,HRCT thorax carried out in all patients with DPLD.Dyspnea score calculated in all patients.Correlation of dyspnea 12 score is made with 6minute walk testndings,spirometric analysis.mild,20% had moderate and24% had severe on dyspnea12score. Study conducted among 50 patients showed 56% patients had mild,20% had moderate and24% had severe on dyspnea12score. By 6MWT 28% patients had normal distance covered(>350m),38% patients had mildly reduced distance(250-349m)covered,12%patients had Moderately reduced distance(150-249m)covered and22%patients Had severely reduced(
