When to See a Respiratory Consultant?

Respiratory & Sleep Physicians such as Dr Hassan can help you by diagnosing and treating a range of conditions that significantly impact respiratory and sleep health.

Dr Hassan is equipped to manage chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma, smoking related lung damage called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia or chest infections, lung scarring or interstitial lung disease (pulmonary Fibrosis), and lung cancer or lining of lung cancer (mesothelioma), often investigating symptoms like persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheeze, and reduced lung capacity.

Dr Hassan also has specialist expertise in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnoea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy, which can manifest through symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, or disrupted sleep patterns. Patients should seek help when they experience chronic breathing difficulties, unexplained tiredness, or prolonged sleep issues that affect daily activities.

If you don't feel quite right and have any of the above symptoms, then early intervention is crucial for effective management, as Dr Hassan can employ diagnostic tools such as pulmonary function tests and polysomnography to identify underlying problems and develop tailored treatment plans, thereby improving overall health and quality of life.
