Understanding Respiratory & Lung Disease Care

Respiratory and lung disease care covers the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the airways, lungs and breathing — from short-term infections to lifelong conditions that need ongoing management. Symptoms like cough, breathlessness, wheezing or chest tightness can come from many different causes, and getting the right diagnosis early changes how well the condition can be managed.

At Nishchay Hospital, patients don’t need to guess whether their symptoms are “serious enough” for a specialist. Every patient is evaluated properly, using clinical assessment, lung function testing and imaging where needed, so that treatment is based on an accurate diagnosis rather than trial and error.

Respiratory & Lung Conditions We Treat

Nishchay Hospital offers comprehensive respiratory and lung disease care in Akola for the following conditions:

Asthma 

A chronic airway condition causing wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness, often triggered by allergens, exercise, or weather changes.

Lung Nodules & Masses

Abnormal growths detected on lung imaging, evaluated through further tests to determine their nature and appropriate management.

Pleural Diseases

Conditions affecting the lining around the lungs, including fluid build-up, causing chest pain and breathing difficulty.

Respiratory Allergies

Allergic reactions affecting the airways, causing sneezing, congestion, coughing, or breathlessness triggered by dust, pollen, or other allergens.

ILD (Interstitial Lung Disease)

A group of conditions causing scarring of lung tissue, leading to progressive breathlessness and reduced oxygen levels.

Chronic Cough & Breathlessness

Persistent cough or shortness of breath lasting weeks or more, evaluated to identify and treat the underlying lung condition.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

A progressive lung condition, usually linked to smoking or pollution exposure, causing long-term breathlessness and reduced lung function.

Respiratory Infections (Pneumonia & Tuberculosis)

Infections of the lung tissue causing fever, cough, and breathing difficulty, requiring timely diagnosis and complete treatment.

Sleep Apnea & Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders

Snoring and repeated breathing interruptions during sleep, affecting sleep quality, energy levels, and long-term heart and lung health.

Know the early warning signs
When to See a Pulmonologist?

When should a persistent cough be evaluated? If a cough lasts more than 3 weeks, or keeps returning, it’s worth getting evaluated rather than waiting it out – especially if it’s paired with fatigue, weight loss, or breathlessness.

Is breathlessness always related to asthma? No. Breathlessness can come from several causes – asthma, COPD, ILD, anemia, heart conditions, or even anxiety. A proper evaluation helps pinpoint the actual cause instead of guessing.

When does snoring require a sleep study? If snoring is loud and frequent, and comes with daytime tiredness, morning headaches, or witnessed breathing pauses at night, a sleep study can check for sleep apnea.

When is bronchoscopy recommended? Bronchoscopy is generally suggested when imaging shows something unclear in the lungs, when there’s unexplained coughing up of blood, or when a tissue sample is needed for diagnosis.

When should an abnormal lung scan be evaluated by a pulmonologist? Any chest X-ray or CT report flagging nodules, masses, infections, or unclear findings should be reviewed by a pulmonologist for proper next steps.

Symptoms That Should Not Be Ignored

Some respiratory symptoms feel minor at first but are worth getting checked properly. Consider a pulmonology evaluation if you notice:

  • A cough that keeps coming back or won’t go away
  • Shortness of breath, even during light activity
  • Wheezing or a whistling sound while breathing
  • Chest tightness or discomfort
  • Repeated chest infections
  • A cough lasting several weeks
  • Blood in sputum (coughed-up mucus)
  • Excessive snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep
  • An abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan that hasn’t been explained

Don’t wait it out

Persistent respiratory symptoms deserve a proper evaluation rather than being brushed off as “just a cough” or seasonal allergies.

Acute vs Chronic Respiratory Conditions: What's the Difference?

Not all lung and breathing problems are the same — understanding the difference helps set the right expectations for treatment.

Acute Respiratory Conditions 

Short-term problems such as pneumonia or a respiratory infection, which usually resolve with timely, complete treatment.

Chronic Respiratory Conditions

Long-term conditions such as asthma, COPD or ILD, which need ongoing management to control symptoms and protect lung function over time.

Getting an accurate diagnosis matters either way – treating a chronic condition like a short-term infection (or vice versa) can delay proper care and allow symptoms to worsen.

How Are Lung Conditions Diagnosed?

At Nishchay Hospital, evaluation follows a structured process:

  • Clinical Evaluation: Dr. Kedia reviews your symptoms, medical history, and any prior reports to understand the likely cause.
  • Pulmonary Function Testing: Tests like spirometry measure how well your lungs are working and help identify conditions like asthma or COPD.
  • Imaging: Chest X-rays or CT scans are used when a closer look at the lungs is needed, especially for nodules, masses, or unclear infections.
  • Specialized Procedures: When imaging or symptoms need further clarity, procedures such as bronchoscopy, EBUS, or lung biopsy are used to reach a precise diagnosis.
  • Diagnosis & Treatment Plan: Based on the findings, a treatment plan is created — this could involve medication, ongoing monitoring, or a referral for a specific procedure.

When should an abnormal lung scan be evaluated by a pulmonologist?

Any chest X-ray or CT report flagging nodules, masses, infections, or unclear findings should be reviewed by a pulmonologist for proper next steps.
