Pulmonology is the medical branch of science that deals with the diseases and disorders of the respiratory tract. While our lungs are strong and carry out the function of breathing right from our birth, the increasing pollution levels, habits like smoking and sometimes occupational hazards involving exposure to harmful gases; can all inversely effect out respiratory health. Some of the common pulmonary diseases affecting men, women and children include, Asthma, Emphysema, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Cancer and bronchitis, among others.
Bronchitis is a disease that is caused because of inflammation of the bronchial tubes. Bronchi (singular: bronchus), are passage of airway in the respiratory tract that conduct the air. The two bronchi- left and right are further divided into smaller tubes, called bronchioles. Bronchioles are the smaller passageways through which the air is transferred from the nose to the lungs. These airways become inflamed when a person is suffering from Bronchitis. Some common symptoms of the disease include cough, fatigue, production of mucus, sore throat, nasal congestion and shortness of breath.
Dhruv Sharma, a chain smoker and a father of two, has this condition and found out about it while he was away on business. A resident of Lucknow, Dhruv was in Bangalore when his symptoms got worse and he decided to see a doctor. On the advice of his colleague traveling with him, he decided to call Credihealth for help. On speaking to our in-house doctor, Dhruv suspected that he might have bronchitis. He asked us to look up pulmonologists near his hotel and make an appointment for him. After Dhruv saw the doctor and realized the dangers of smoking, he decided to kick the habit and started his treatment with the doctor.
