Respiratory Diseases

Conditions we diagnose and treat

Clear, patient-friendly information on common and complex lung conditions — what they are, how they are diagnosed and the treatment options available.

Showing 18 of 18 conditions

Bronchial Asthma

Long-term airway inflammation causing wheeze, chest tightness and breathlessness that comes and goes.

Learn more

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

A long-term lung condition, often linked to smoking or smoke exposure, causing persistent breathlessness and cough.

Learn more

Tuberculosis

A curable bacterial infection, most often of the lungs, needing accurate diagnosis and complete treatment.

Learn more

Chronic Cough

A cough lasting more than eight weeks in adults — a symptom with many treatable causes.

Learn more

Breathlessness

Difficulty breathing or 'air hunger' — a symptom that deserves careful evaluation of the lungs, heart and more.

Learn more

Respiratory Allergies & Allergic Rhinitis

Sneezing, a runny or blocked nose and itchy eyes triggered by allergens — often linked with asthma.

Learn more

Bronchiectasis

Permanently widened airways that collect mucus, leading to chronic cough with phlegm and repeated infections.

Learn more

Pneumonia & Respiratory Infections

Infections of the lungs and airways — from bronchitis to pneumonia — needing timely, appropriate treatment.

Learn more

Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD)

A group of conditions causing inflammation or scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue, leading to progressive breathlessness.

Learn more

Lung Nodules

Small spots found on a chest scan — most are benign, but each needs appropriate assessment and follow-up.

Learn more

Lung Cancer Evaluation

Timely diagnosis, accurate tissue sampling and staging — the essential first steps in lung cancer care.

Learn more

Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Repeated blockage of the upper airway during sleep, causing loud snoring, broken sleep and daytime sleepiness.

Learn more

Pleural Effusion

Excess fluid between the lung and chest wall — a sign of an underlying condition that needs a precise diagnosis.

Learn more

Empyema

Infected fluid or pus in the pleural space — a serious condition that needs prompt drainage and antibiotics.

Learn more

Pneumothorax

Air leaking into the space around the lung, causing partial or complete collapse — sometimes a medical emergency.

Learn more

Hemoptysis (Coughing Up Blood)

Coughing up blood from the lungs or airways — always a symptom that should be evaluated.

Learn more

Smoking-Related Lung Diseases

Tobacco smoke damages the airways and air sacs — causing COPD, cancer and other diseases. Quitting helps at any age.

Learn more

Stridor & Airway Obstruction

Narrowing of the windpipe or main airways causing noisy breathing — may need specialised bronchoscopic treatment.
