Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Adayiba ARNP:

What is a Pulmonologist?

A pulmonologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats diseases of the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and muscles of breathing. They are experts in conditions like asthma, COPD, lung cancer, and sleep apnea.

I have a long history of smoking. Should I be screened for lung cancer?

Lung cancer screening with a low-dose CT scan is recommended for certain high-risk individuals, including those with a long smoking history. Early detection is crucial, as lung cancer is most treatable when found early. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Adayiba ARNP to discuss your specific eligibility.

What is a sleep study (polysomnography)?

A sleep study, or polysomnography, is the gold standard test for diagnosing sleep apnea. It's an overnight procedure performed in a comfortable sleep lab, monitoring brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and oxygen levels to assess sleep quality and identify any breathing problems.

What is the difference between asthma and COPD?

Asthma, often starting in childhood and linked to allergies, typically causes reversible airway obstruction with medication. COPD, usually stemming from smoking and developing later in life, involves permanent lung damage.

What is a CPAP machine?

A CPAP machine is the most effective treatment for sleep apnea. It's a small, quiet machine that delivers a gentle stream of air through a mask to keep your airway open during sleep. This therapy prevents dangerous drops in oxygen and dramatically improves sleep quality.

What is a pulmonary function test (PFT)?

A pulmonary function test (PFT) is a series of breathing tests that measure lung function, similar to an EKG for your lungs. It helps Dr. Adayiba ARNP diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD, assess their severity, and monitor how well treatments are working.

What is pulmonary fibrosis?

Pulmonary fibrosis is a serious condition where lung tissue thickens and scars over time, making breathing difficult. While the scarring can't be reversed, early diagnosis by a specialist like Dr. Adayiba ARNP is key to starting treatments that can slow the disease's progression.

My CT scan showed a 'lung nodule.' Does this mean I have cancer?

The vast majority of small lung nodules are benign, often old scars from past infections. Dr. Adayiba ARNP is an expert in evaluating nodules and will determine the best course of action, which is often just careful monitoring.
