Breathing Made Easier, One Patient at a Time
Breathing is something most of us do without thinking until it becomes difficult. When you experience a persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or frequent chest infections, it’s your body’s way of saying something isn’t right. That’s where Pulmonology at Iswarya Hospital comes in.
Our team of expert pulmonologists specializes in diagnosing and managing a wide range of respiratory conditions from the common cold to chronic lung diseases with a deep understanding of how these issues affect your everyday life.
What is Pulmonology?
Pulmonology is the medical specialty that focuses on the health of the lungs and respiratory tract. This includes the airways, lung tissues, pleura (lining), and respiratory muscles.
At Iswarya Hospital, our Pulmonology unit acts as the first point of contact for patients with any kind of breathing problem. Whether you’re dealing with something mild like a seasonal allergy or something more chronic like asthma or COPD, we are here to help identify the cause, manage the condition, and improve your quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
We provide diagnosis and treatment for a broad spectrum of respiratory issues including:
1. Asthma & Allergic Bronchitis
Common in urban environments like OMR, asthma affects both children and adults. We offer personalized treatment plans including inhaler training and allergy testing.
2. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Often caused by smoking or pollution exposure, COPD includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Our team provides long-term care to improve lung function and quality of life.
3. Tuberculosis (TB)
TB continues to be a serious concern. We offer advanced diagnostics and DOTS-compliant treatment plans.
4. Pneumonia and Respiratory Infections
We manage both acute and recurring chest infections with targeted therapy and follow-up.
5. Post-COVID Lung Complications
Shortness of breath and fatigue are common even after recovering from COVID-19. Our post-COVID lung recovery clinics are designed to help you get back on track.
6. Chronic Cough & Unexplained Breathlessness
Sometimes symptoms persist despite normal tests — our team excels in complex case evaluations.
