• Acute Bronchitis: While many cases of acute bronchitis resolve on their own, recognizing its symptoms early and taking appropriate preventive measures can reduce its impact and overall respiratory health risks.
• Shortness of Breath: Experiencing shortness of breath? Don't ignore it; proactive management of this symptom can help prevent the progression of chronic respiratory diseases.

• Bronchiectasis: Preventative care is key for people with bronchiectasis; by closely monitoring your symptoms and following your doctor's advice, you can significantly reduce your risk of serious lung infections and complications.
• Chronic Bronchiolitis: Early identification of chronic bronchiolitis allows for timely intervention and management of symptoms, helping prevent serious complications and maintain better lung function over time.
• Hypoxemia: Preventing hypoxemia involves addressing risk factors like smoking and pollution, ensuring early detection through regular lung health assessments.
• Chronic Bronchitis: Chronic bronchitis is a long-term lung condition where the airways become inflamed and produce extra mucus, making it harder to breathe, but early detection and management can help prevent serious complications.
• Asphyxia and Hypoxemia: Asphyxia and hypoxemia, both involving oxygen deficiency, highlight the importance of proactive lung health monitoring to catch and treat breathing problems early, preventing serious complications.
• Wheezing: If you're wheezing, it's crucial to get checked by a healthcare professional to identify the cause and prevent long-term lung damage.
• Sarcoidosis: Sarcoidosis, while sometimes asymptomatic, can lead to serious lung problems if left untreated; proactive healthcare helps catch it early and prevents severe damage.
• Pneumonitis: Early detection of pneumonitis is crucial for preventing long-term lung damage; regular check-ups with your doctor and prompt attention to any breathing difficulties are key.
• Empyema: Early detection of empyema, through chest X-rays or other imaging, is crucial for effective treatment and reducing the risk of long-term lung damage.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Arjun Aneja offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Arterial Blood Gas Test (ABG): This test helps ensure your lungs are working efficiently by directly measuring the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood, aiding in early diagnosis of lung conditions.
• Bronchoscopy: To prevent more serious lung issues, a bronchoscopy allows doctors to directly visualize your airways and take samples for testing, leading to quicker and more effective treatment.
• Bronchoscopy with Robotic Assist: Taking charge of your respiratory health involves considering a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, a precise procedure to identify and address abnormalities in your lungs and breathing passages.
• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP): CPAP therapy is a proactive step to improve sleep quality and manage sleep apnea, reducing your risk of serious health complications.
• Respiratory Management: Respiratory management offers personalized support to help you breathe easier and live fuller by identifying and treating respiratory concerns promptly.
• Thoracentesis: To check for infections or cancer, a thoracentesis may be used to safely remove fluid from around your lungs, allowing for early diagnosis and treatment.

Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Arjun Aneja:

What is a Pulmonologist?

Dr. Aneja and our team of pulmonologists are specialists in diagnosing and treating diseases of the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and muscles of breathing. We have expertise in a wide range of conditions, from asthma and COPD to 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, often based on age and smoking history. Early detection is crucial, as lung cancer is most treatable when found early. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Aneja to discuss your specific eligibility.

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. Dr. Aneja uses PFTs to help diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD, assess their severity, and monitor how well treatments are working.

What is a bronchoscopy?

A bronchoscopy is a procedure where a doctor uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera to look directly inside your airways. It helps diagnose issues like lung infections, bleeding, or take a biopsy of suspicious areas, such as a lung nodule.

Can you help me quit smoking?

Yes, quitting smoking is the single most important step for lung health. Dr. Aneja can provide evidence-based support, including counseling and prescribing medications that can double or triple your chance of quitting successfully.

How can I prevent my asthma or COPD from getting worse?

Preventing asthma or COPD from worsening is a partnership with Dr. Aneja. Key strategies include using your inhalers correctly, avoiding triggers like smoke or pollen, getting recommended vaccinations, and having a clear action plan for flare-ups.

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

No, a lung nodule on a CT scan does not necessarily mean cancer. The vast majority of small nodules are benign and often represent old scars from past infections. Dr. Aneja is an expert in evaluating nodules and will determine the best course of action, which often involves careful monitoring.

What is sarcoidosis?

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease where tiny clumps of inflammatory cells form in various parts of the body, often the lungs. Many cases are mild, but expert management by a specialist like Dr. Aneja is crucial to monitor and prevent organ damage.
