Introduction
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive lung condition that makes it difficult to breathe. If you or a loved one are struggling with symptoms like a persistent cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing, Divine Grace Hospital in Medahalli, near KR Puram, offers expert diagnosis and advanced treatment for COPD. Our dedicated team of pulmonologists and respiratory therapists provides a personalized, multi-disciplinary approach to help you manage your condition and improve your quality of life.
What is COPD?
COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. It is a general term that includes two main conditions:
- Emphysema: Damage to the air sacs in the lungs, making it harder to exhale air.
- Chronic Bronchitis: Inflammation of the airways, leading to a persistent cough with mucus production.
While smoking is a primary cause, other factors like long-term exposure to air pollution, dust, and chemical fumes can also contribute to the development of COPD.
Symptoms to Watch Out For
Early detection is key to managing COPD effectively. If you live in Bangalore, Karnataka, and experience any of these symptoms, it’s time to consult a specialist:
- A chronic cough, often called “smoker’s cough”
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activities
- Wheezing
- Chest tightness
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Fatigue
Our Comprehensive COPD Care at Divine Grace Hospital
At Divine Grace Hospital, we are equipped to provide a full spectrum of care for COPD patients. Our approach focuses on accurate diagnosis, effective symptom management, and long-term care to slow the disease’s progression.
1. Advanced Diagnostics: To provide an accurate diagnosis and determine the stage of your COPD, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools:
- Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): These non-invasive tests measure your lung capacity and airflow. They are the gold standard for diagnosing COPD.
- Chest X-rays and CT Scans: To get a detailed look at your lungs and rule out other conditions.
- Blood Tests: To check for oxygen levels and other indicators.
2. Tailored Treatment Plans: There is no one-size-fits-all solution for COPD. Our specialists will develop a customized treatment plan that may include:
- Medications: Bronchodilators (inhalers) to relax the airways, and steroids to reduce inflammation.
- Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A comprehensive program that includes breathing exercises, physical training, and nutritional counseling to improve your lung function and stamina.
- Oxygen Therapy: For patients with advanced COPD, we provide oxygen therapy to ensure adequate oxygen levels in the blood.
