Pulmonology is the medical specialty that deals with diseases involving the respiratory tract. Pulmonology is synonymous with and also consists of Pneumology, respirology and respiratory medicine. Pulmonology is more commonly known as chest medicine and respiratory medicine by most people. Pulmonology often involves managing patients who need life support and mechanical ventilation and the doctors specializing in this are called pulmonologists. Pulmonologists are specially trained in diseases and conditions of the chest, particularly pneumonia, asthma, tuberculosis, emphysema, and complicated chest infections. For pulmonological or related problems, schedule a visit with us.

Treatments Available For

Asthma

Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways to the lungs which makes breathing difficult and some physical activities difficult or even impossible. Asthma symptoms occur when the lining of your airways swell and the muscles around them tighten. Mucus then fills the airways, further reducing the amount of air that can pass through. These conditions together can bring on asthma “attack,” and the typical coughing and tightness in your chest. For asthma treatment, schedule a visit with us.

Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an acute inflammation in the lungs that some people call a chest cold. Bronchitis is a minor illness that follows a viral illness like the common cold – or may follow a more serious condition like a chronic smoker’s hack. Bronchitis can also be caused by exposure to smoke, chemical irritants, or bacteria. A cough, phlegm, and feeling tired are typical symptoms of bronchitis. If you are looking for comprehensive treatment for bronchitis, schedule a visit with us.

Coronary Pulmonale

Coronary Pulmonale is a condition that most commonly arises out of complications from high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries (pulmonary hypertension). It’s also known as right-sided heart failure because it occurs within the right ventricle of a person’s heart and causes pulmonary artery hypertension followed by right ventricular failure. The findings of Cor Pulmonale include peripheral edema, neck vein distention, hepatomegaly, and a parasternal lift and the diagnosis is clinical and by echocardiography. COPD is also one of the leading causes of Coronary Pulmonale. Visit us for comprehensive treatment and get yourself checked against symptoms of Cor Pulmonale.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. The symptoms of COPD include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus production and wheezing. COPD is caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions. For extreme COPD, schedule an appointment with us.

TB: Tuberculosis

or TB, as it’s commonly called, is a contagious infection that usually attacks the lungs. TB can also spread to other parts of the body, like the brain and spine in extreme cases where the patient is left untreated. TB is contagious, but it’s not very easy to catch. The germs grow slowly and a person usually has to spend a lot of time around another person who has been infected by it. That’s why it’s often spread among co-workers, friends, and family members. If you or a relative think you are suffering from symptoms of TB, visit us right away.

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is a severe infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may get filled with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Pneumonia can be caused by a variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It ranges in seriousness from mild to life-threatening being most serious and sometimes even fatal for infants and young children, people older than age 65, and people with health problems or weakened immune systems. Mild signs and symptoms of pneumonia are often similar to those of a cold or flu, but they last longer. Pneumonia can be cured completely. Visit us or schedule an appointment to know more.
