Respiratory conditions we treat
Our respiratory medicine department treats a range of conditions affecting the lungs and airways, including asthma, allergies, lung disease and more.
What is a respiratory condition?
A respiratory condition is any illness that affects the lungs, airways and other associated structures, often causing symptoms such as breathlessness, chest pain and wheezing.
Respiratory conditions include common illnesses such as asthma, chest infections and allergies, as well as things like lung cancer, sleep disorders and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These conditions may be referred to under the umbrella term ‘lung disease’.
Respiratory conditions we treat
Allergies
Allergies are when your immune system reacts to a typically harmless substance, like pollen. They vary in severity.
Asthma
Asthma is a common lung condition that causes breathing difficulties, such as breathlessness, wheezing and coughing.
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is when the airways become widened, leading to excess mucus and an increased infection risk.
Chronic cough
A chronic cough lasts over eight weeks and can cause problems such as interrupted sleep and exhaustion.
Complex breathlessness
Complex breathlessness is breathlessness that occurs without an obvious cause and can feel very uncomfortable.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an umbrella term for a group of conditions that affect lung function.
Interstitial lung disease
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an umbrella term for a group of conditions that cause scarring on the lungs.
Long COVID
Long COVID is a term used for the lasting symptoms of a COVID-19 infection, which include breathlessness.
Lung cancer
Primary lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the lungs begin to grow uncontrollably and develop into tumours.
Sleep-disordered breathing
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) refers to a broad range of sleep-related breathing conditions, like sleep apnoea.
