Respiratory

Shortness of breath can be a symptom of a wide range of conditions, from asthma and COPD to heart disease and anxiety. It may occur suddenly or develop over time. Our clinic specialises in diagnosing the underlying cause through a comprehensive evaluation that includes physical exams, imaging studies, and pulmonary function tests. Once diagnosed, we provide a personalised treatment plan that may include medications, pulmonary rehabilitation, oxygen therapy, or lifestyle modifications to help manage the condition and improve your breathing and overall quality of life.

A persistent cough can be a sign of underlying issues such as infections, asthma, bronchitis, or even acid reflux. Chronic cough can interfere with daily life and may also indicate more serious conditions like lung disease. At our clinic, we offer a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of your cough, using diagnostic tools such as chest X-rays, CT scans, or pulmonary function tests. Treatment options vary depending on the diagnosis and can include inhalers, medications, airway clearance techniques, or lifestyle changes to provide relief and improve lung function.

Asthma is a chronic condition that inflames and narrows the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, especially during physical activity or at night. Asthma can be triggered by allergens, exercise, cold air, or stress. Our clinic offers a range of treatments, including the latest in biologic therapy that can potentially cure asthma in certain patients. Treatment also includes quick-relief inhalers, long-term control medications, and personalised asthma action plans to help manage your symptoms and prevent asthma attacks, allowing you to lead a more active and comfortable life.

Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to substances like pollen, dust, pet dander, or certain foods. This can result in symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes, and for some, it can trigger asthma attacks. We provide comprehensive allergy testing to identify your specific triggers and offer treatments like antihistamines, allergy shots (immunotherapy), and environmental control strategies to help reduce symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis, is a progressive lung disease that obstructs airflow and makes breathing increasingly difficult. It’s often caused by smoking but can also result from long-term exposure to environmental irritants. We offer comprehensive care, including inhalers, bronchodilators, pulmonary rehabilitation programs, and oxygen therapy. For advanced cases, surgical options like lung volume reduction may be considered. Our treatments are designed to manage symptoms, improve lung function, and enhance quality of life, helping you stay active and minimize hospitalisations.

Lung nodules and enlarged lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) can be detected through imaging tests like chest X-rays or CT scans. While many lung nodules are benign, they can also be an early sign of lung cancer or infections. We offer comprehensive evaluations, including follow-up imaging, PET scans, or biopsy when necessary, to determine the nature of the nodule or lymph node. Our team works closely with you to monitor these findings over time and provide appropriate treatment, which could include surgical removal or further testing to ensure early detection of any serious conditions.

Lung cancer is one of the most serious and life-threatening conditions, but advances in early detection and treatment options have significantly improved outcomes for many patients. Our clinic offers a multidisciplinary approach to lung cancer care, providing expert diagnosis and screening through imaging, biopsies, and molecular testing to tailor the best treatment plan for you. Treatments may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the type and stage of the cancer.

Smoking is a leading cause of respiratory diseases such as COPD, emphysema, and lung cancer. Quitting smoking can dramatically improve lung health and overall well-being, but it’s often difficult to do without support. Our clinic offers a comprehensive smoking cessation program that includes personalised counseling, medications such as nicotine replacement therapy or prescription drugs, and ongoing support to help you overcome cravings and avoid relapse. By quitting, you’ll reduce your risk of lung disease and improve your long-term health, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) refers to a group of lung disorders that cause scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue, making it harder for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream. Pulmonary fibrosis is one form of ILD and results in progressive shortness of breath, chronic dry cough, and fatigue. While there is no cure, we provide treatments that can slow disease progression and manage symptoms. These include antifibrotic medications, pulmonary rehabilitation to improve breathing capacity, and oxygen therapy. In some cases, lung transplantation may be an option. Our goal is to improve your quality of life and help you maintain your independence as much as possible.

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect multiple organs, most commonly the lungs, where it causes small clusters of inflammatory cells called granulomas to form. Symptoms can range from mild, such as a persistent cough and shortness of breath, to more severe organ involvement. While some cases of sarcoidosis resolve on their own, others require medical intervention. We offer treatments such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, along with immunosuppressive medications for more advanced cases. Our approach focuses on controlling symptoms, preventing organ damage, and monitoring your condition over time to ensure the best possible outcome.

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in the lungs and can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Respiratory infections like bronchitis and the flu can also lead to severe complications if left untreated. We provide rapid diagnostic testing and offer treatments such as antibiotics, antivirals, and supportive care to ensure a quick recovery. For patients with recurrent infections or underlying lung conditions, we offer preventive care strategies, including vaccinations and lifestyle adjustments, to reduce the risk of future infections and hospitalizations.

Pulmonary Embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot blocks one of the arteries in the lungs, causing sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heart rate, and sometimes fainting. This is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. We offer rapid diagnosis using imaging tests and blood work, followed by treatments like blood thinners to dissolve clots and prevent new ones from forming. In severe cases, clot-removal procedures or catheter-based treatments may be necessary. Our team focuses on fast, effective treatment to restore blood flow, prevent complications, and support your recovery.

Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries that supply blood to the lungs. This increased pressure makes it harder for your heart to pump blood through the lungs, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, dizziness, and chest pain. Over time, PH can lead to heart failure if left untreated. We offer comprehensive care, including medications that lower blood pressure in the lungs, oxygen therapy, and advanced treatments such as balloon angioplasty or pulmonary endarterectomy. Our goal is to manage symptoms, improve your quality of life, and slow disease progression.

Bronchiectasis is a condition where the airways become permanently widened and damaged, leading to mucus build-up and recurring lung infections. Patients often experience chronic coughing, frequent respiratory infections, and difficulty clearing mucus. We offer a range of treatments, including airway clearance techniques, inhalers, antibiotics to treat infections, and pulmonary rehabilitation to improve breathing. In more advanced cases, surgery may be required to remove damaged parts of the lung. Our goal is to help you manage your symptoms, prevent infections, and maintain optimal lung function.

Occupational lung diseases, such as silicosis and asbestosis, are caused by long-term exposure to harmful dust or fibers, leading to lung damage and breathing difficulties. These conditions can progress over time and may lead to chronic respiratory problems or even lung cancer. We provide specialized care that includes thorough diagnosis, monitoring of lung function, and treatments to manage symptoms and prevent further damage. For individuals at risk, we offer preventive strategies and guidance on reducing exposure to harmful substances in the workplace.

Exposure to mold, especially in people with weakened immune systems or existing lung conditions, can cause severe lung infections or allergic reactions. Aspergillus, a common type of mold, can lead to conditions like allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) or invasive aspergillosis. We offer diagnostic testing to detect mold-related lung disease and provide treatments such as antifungal medications, corticosteroids, and immunotherapy to manage infections and reduce inflammation. Our goal is to help you recover quickly and prevent future complications from mold exposure.
