Here are the main treatment types we focus on:
What to Expect : Our Thorough Diagnostic Process
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective COPD management. Our comprehensive evaluation process is designed to understand your condition fully:
Detailed Symptoms Analysis: We'll carefully review your symptoms, which may include frequent shortness of breath, wheezing, and chronic cough (with or without mucus). We understand that breathing difficulties can impact daily activities and will discuss any "flare-ups" where symptoms worsen significantly.
In-Depth Medical History: Your doctor will ask about your medical history, including any past smoking habits or exposure to lung irritants like dust or chemical fumes, as these factors can increase your risk.
Comprehensive Pulmonary Function Testing: We utilize advanced pulmonary function tests to assess your lung capacity and efficiency. This includes spirometry, a common test that measures how much and how quickly you can exhale, which is crucial for identifying COPD.
Chest X-ray Evaluation: A chest X-ray provides images of your heart and lungs, helping us detect abnormalities that may indicate COPD or rule out other pulmonary conditions.
Advanced CT Scan Imaging: A CT scan creates detailed 3D images of your lungs, revealing airway inflammation typical of chronic bronchitis or the lung tissue destruction characteristic of emphysema.
Ongoing Support for Living with COPD
Living with COPD is a journey, and at SOM Medical Practice, we're with you every step of the way. Our commitment extends beyond diagnosis to continuous support and monitoring.
