Managing Chronic Lung Conditions Effectively
Learn about accurate diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and effective treatments for chronic lung conditions like asthma and COPD.
Chronic lung conditions like asthma and COPD affect millions worldwide, including in Nepal where air pollution exacerbates symptoms. Effective management starts with accurate diagnosis using tools like spirometry and PFT. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers (smoke, dust), regular exercise, and a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, play a crucial role. Medications including inhalers and bronchodilators provide relief, while pulmonary rehabilitation programs strengthen lungs. At Lotus Medical Clinic, we offer personalized plans with monitoring to prevent exacerbations. Prevention is key: Quit smoking through our cessation program, get vaccinated against flu/pneumonia, and monitor air quality. Success stories from patients show improved quality of life with adherence. Consult a pulmonologist early for best outcomes.
