Frequently Asked Questions

Respiratory medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the lungs and respiratory system, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and interstitial lung diseases.

Symptoms include persistent coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest pain. These symptoms can affect your daily activities and may require medical intervention.

COPD is managed through a combination of treatments, including medications, inhalers, lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking), and pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function.

Asthma is diagnosed through lung function tests and a review of symptoms. Treatment usually involves using inhalers to control inflammation, prevent asthma attacks, and manage triggers.

While many respiratory conditions, such as asthma and COPD, cannot be fully cured, they can be effectively managed with a comprehensive treatment plan to improve lung function and quality of life.
