Respiratory Disorders
Respiratory Disorder is a type of disease that affects the lungs and other parts of the respiratory system. Respiratory ailments may be caused by infection, smoking tobacco, breathing in second hand tobacco smoke, anatomical issues, obesity and air pollution. We provide solutions for Respiratory ailments such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea(OSA).
Respiratory Ailments We Help Manage
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition in which breathing stops involuntarily for brief periods of time during sleep.<h2><b> OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA </b></h2>
Sleep Apnoea (or Sleep Apnoea) is a condition where a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep for several seconds, multiple times a night. As a result, the oxygen supply in the blood and subsequently to the brain, declines. This can lead to a disruption of normal bodily functions and pave the way for serious and life-threatening conditions.

Asthma is a common long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungsAsthma is a common long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs. It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and easily triggered bronchospasms. Symptoms include episodes of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. These may occur a few times a day or a few times per week. Depending on the person, asthma symptoms may become worse at night or with exercise.
Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Environmental factors include exposure to air pollution and allergens. Other potential triggers include medications such as aspirin and beta blockers. Diagnosis is usually based on the pattern of symptoms, response to therapy over time, and spirometry lung function testing.

COPD is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow.<h3><b>Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)</b></h3>
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow. The main symptoms include shortness of breath and cough with sputum production. COPD is a progressive disease, meaning it typically worsens over time. Eventually, everyday activities such as walking or getting dressed become difficult. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are older terms used for different types of COPD. The term "chronic bronchitis" is still used to define a productive cough that is present for at least three months each year for two years. Those with such a cough are at a greater risk of developing COPD. The term "emphysema" is also used for the abnormal presence of air or other gas within tissues.

Even healthy people can experience health impacts from polluted air including respiratory irritation or breathing difficulties during indoor or outdoor activitiesAir pollution occurs when harmful or excessive quantities of substances including the gases (CO2, CO, SO2, NO, CH4, CFC, Radon, etc.), particles (both organic and inorganic), and biological molecules are introduced into Earth's atmosphere. It may cause diseases, allergies and even death to humans; it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural or built environment. Both human activity and natural processes can generate air pollution.
