Here you will find answers to the most common questions about Astra Super Speciality Hospital, services provided by us and how we can help you with your health needs.
When should I consult a pulmonologist for a persistent cough?
If your cough lasts more than 3 weeks, worsens at night, or is associated with breathlessness, wheezing, or chest pain, it’s time to consult a pulmonologist for evaluation.
How is sleep apnea diagnosed and treated?
Sleep apnoea is diagnosed through a sleep study (polysomnography). It is usually treated with CPAP therapy, weight management, and lifestyle changes.
Can asthma be completely cured?
While asthma can’t be permanently cured, it can be effectively controlled with inhalers, medications, and lifestyle adjustments to prevent flare-ups.
What are the symptoms of COPD and how is it different from asthma?
COPD causes chronic cough, wheezing, and breathlessness, especially in smokers. Unlike asthma, COPD symptoms worsen over time and are less reversible with medication.
