Respiratory Medicine
Asthma: Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways, causing inflammation and increased mucus production. It leads to symptoms like recurrent wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Triggers such as allergens or irritants can exacerbate symptoms. Management typically involves inhalers and lifestyle modifications.
COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a progressive lung ailment encompassing chronic bronchitis and emphysema. These conditions obstruct airflow, leading to persistent coughing, sputum production, and breathing difficulties. COPD is primarily caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, often linked to smoking.
Interstitial Lung Diseases: Interstitial lung diseases refer to a group of disorders that cause scarring or fibrosis of the lung tissue. These conditions impair the lung's ability to transport oxygen, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and dry cough. Diagnosis and treatment often require detailed imaging and, in some cases, lung biopsies.
