Frequently Asked Questions
Most asthma starts in childhood, and symptoms and triggers (like allergies) can be different. COPD is a progressive disease characterised by persistent airflow limitation that is usually caused by long-term exposure to lung irritants such as tobacco smoke. Spirometry is used to distinguish these two conditions.
Persistent coughs (lasting more than three weeks) should be closely examined, particularly if blood is involved or there is unexplained weight loss, chest pain or breathlessness. A chest x-ray is often performed when investigating these symptoms.
A programme of supervised exercise, education about your lung condition, breathing techniques and nutrition advice. The goal is to improve your stamina and reduce breathlessness so you can do your daily activities more comfortably.
Bronchoscopy is performed under sedation and with a local anaesthetic spray to numb your throat. You will be comfortable and sleepy during the procedure. Most patients have little memory of the procedure and a mild sore throat that improves rapidly.
Our differentiator is our commitment to long-term partnership. We treat you, but we don’t send you home. Over months and years, we work with you to adapt your treatment, refine your inhaler technique and keep you well and active.
