Here’s how asthma can worsen your normal life

Person suffering from asthma can very well relate to this article! The impact of asthma is way too high on a person’s life who is suffering from it! Asthma is a condition which affects the pulmonary system. In layman terms asthma is a condition where there is difficulty in breathing because of the narrowing and inflammation of lungs. You must be thinking that how a pulmonary disorder can affect the other systems? Well, other systems are also affected which can make it difficult for you to live a normal life.

Sleep- The word is self-explanatory. Image someone holding your nose while you are asleep. Can you still sleep well? No. you would get oxygen to breathe. The same happens with the person suffering from asthma. Breathing is interrupted making it difficult for a person to have sound sleep as a result it leads to irritation throughout the day. Lack of sleep leads to insomnia which creates a lot of chaos in hormone production. Proper sleeping medications must be started if the complication is increased.

Exercise- When you exercise, you need more oxygen. You breathe heavy. This is in the case of a normal person. Imagine what will happen to a person who is suffering from asthma? Exercise is very difficult for asthma people. Lack of exercise brings in immobility which in turn leads to many cardiovascular disorders. A person suffering from asthma must be very careful about his/her medications if he is planning for exercises. An inhaler should always be kept nearby to avoid breathlessness.

These are just 2 things which are affected because of asthma. More points will be covered up in the next article. Stay tuned! By- Dt. Trishala Chopra

Pulmonologists- study and research of various physiological and pathological conditions of the Lungs


A Pulmonologists is a medical worker involved in Pulmonology i.e. the study and research of various physiological and pathological conditions of the Lungs and its associated structures.It has been a decade, since development of this field reached it peak, and is till holding the throne. 
This is because of increased conditions giving rise to increased research. By this statement, I meant that there are lots many pathological conditions related to the lungs, and to manage them, an increase in study, research and interventions.Pollution has been a problem of this effluent world, just like obesity, we can just complain, but to change, action is a must.
Industrial Smoke, Combustion of fuel in Cars Bikes and other automobiles, open air burning of waste, all this add up to the rising pollution in the country.And whenever Delhi is concerned, pollution will always be remembered, just like Tony Stark with his Man in action, Jarvis!
Pulmonologist takes care of conditions such as COPD, Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Occupational Lung Diseases, Restrictive Lung Diseases, Pleural Cancers, by using various interventions, Spirometry being the most common.
A pulmonologists also involves use of X Rays (by Radiologist) to diagnose any restrictions in the normal biomechanics of Thorax & Chest Wall.
Physiotherapy referral is also used frequently, mainly to remove accumulated secretions in the lungs, by means of procedures such as Postural Drainage and Breathing Exercises such as ACBT (Active Cycle Of Breathing Techniques). Humidification & Nebulization may also be used. By- Dt. Trishala Chopra
