Respiratory & Sleep Medicine
Asthma: Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway inflammation and bronchial constriction, leading to recurrent episodes of wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness. Management involves medications to control inflammation and relieve acute symptoms, as well as identifying and avoiding triggers.
COPD: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) encompasses chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is characterized by persistent airflow obstruction, chronic cough, and difficulty breathing. Smoking is a major risk factor. Treatment includes bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, and lifestyle modifications to improve quality of life.
Interstitial Lung Diseases: Interstitial lung diseases involve a group of conditions that cause scarring (fibrosis) in the lung tissue. These diseases can result from various factors, including exposure to environmental toxins and autoimmune disorders, and can lead to reduced lung function and breathlessness.
