Breathlessness, also known as dyspnea, is a common but distressing symptom that can result from a wide range of underlying conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, anxiety disorders, and infections like pneumonia. At our clinic, we specialize in identifying the root cause of breathlessness to provide accurate, timely, and effective treatment.

Our approach to breathlessness begins with a detailed patient history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as chest X-rays, pulmonary function tests, ECG, echocardiography, or blood tests. These help determine whether the cause is respiratory, cardiac, or related to another system.

Once the cause is identified, we offer personalized treatment plans. For respiratory causes like asthma or COPD, inhalers (bronchodilators and corticosteroids), nebulization, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation may be recommended. In cases of cardiac origin, such as heart failure, treatment includes medications like diuretics, ACE inhibitors, or beta-blockers, along with lifestyle modifications.

We also manage breathlessness due to anxiety or panic disorders with counseling, breathing techniques, and medications when needed. For acute breathlessness caused by infections or allergic reactions, rapid intervention with antibiotics, antihistamines, or emergency oxygen support is provided.

Our goal is to not only relieve the symptom but also improve the overall quality of life by treating the underlying condition effectively. We focus on patient education, proper inhaler technique, and follow-up care to prevent recurrence and ensure long-term relief.
