Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

COPD is a progressive lung disease characterized by airflow limitation, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and chronic cough, often caused by smoking or exposure to lung irritants.

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is a lung infection that inflames the air sacs, causing symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, typically caused by bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms.

Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs, causing persistent cough, fever, and weight loss, and can be contagious if not treated promptly.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

This condition involves progressive scarring of the lung tissue with an unknown cause, leading to stiffening of the lungs and impaired breathing.

Interstitial Lung Disease

A group of lung disorders that affect the interstitium, the lung's supporting tissue, leading to breathing difficulties and reduced oxygen exchange.

Bronchitis

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchial tubes, often caused by viral infections or smoking, resulting in coughing, mucus production, and chest discomfort.

Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect various organs, including the lungs, forming small lumps of cells that can impair lung function.

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes the production of thick, sticky mucus in the airways, leading to recurrent lung infections and breathing difficulties.

Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition characterized by damaged and widened airways, which can result from infections or other underlying lung issues, causing excessive mucus production and chronic cough.

Influenza

Influenza, or the flu, is a contagious viral respiratory infection that can lead to severe respiratory symptoms and complications, especially in high-risk individuals.

Asbestosis

Asbestosis is a lung disease caused by exposure to asbestos fibers, leading to scarring of the lung tissue, breathing problems, and an increased risk of lung cancer.

Chronic Cough

A persistent cough lasting for more than eight weeks can be caused by various underlying conditions, such as asthma, reflux, or respiratory infections.

Pleurisy

Pleurisy is the inflammation of the pleura, the lining around the lungs, causing sharp chest pain during breathing, often due to infections or other underlying conditions.

Asthma

Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing, often triggered by allergens or irritants.

Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot travels to the lungs, blocking blood flow and causing sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, and potentially life-threatening complications.

Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the lungs, often linked to smoking and characterized by symptoms like cough, chest pain, and weight loss.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, potentially leading to reduced oxygen levels and daytime fatigue.

Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, which can strain the heart and lead to symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.

Pleural Effusion

Pleural effusion is the buildup of fluid in the pleural space, often caused by infections, congestive heart failure, or cancer, leading to chest pain and breathing difficulties.

Advance Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)

Pulmonary function tests are diagnostic tools that measure lung function, helping to assess respiratory conditions and guide treatment decisions.

Oxygen Therapy

Oxygen therapy involves providing supplemental oxygen to individuals with lung conditions to improve oxygen levels in the blood, enhancing overall health and comfort.

Bronchoscopy

A bronchoscopy is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube is inserted into the airways to diagnose and treat lung conditions, collect samples, and remove foreign objects or obstructions.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

ARDS is a life-threatening lung condition characterized by sudden onset of severe respiratory distress and low blood oxygen levels.
