Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Haares Mirzan:

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 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 high-risk individuals, often those with a history of smoking and a certain age. Early detection greatly improves treatment outcomes. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Haares Mirzan to discuss your specific eligibility.

What is pulmonary rehabilitation?

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a medically supervised program of exercise and education designed to help patients with chronic lung disease breathe better, increase their strength and stamina, and improve their overall quality of life.

What is a pleural effusion?

A pleural effusion is an abnormal buildup of fluid between the lungs and chest wall. Dr. Haares Mirzan can perform a thoracentesis to drain and test the fluid, helping determine the underlying cause, such as heart failure or infection.

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. This allows us to diagnose issues like lung infections, sources of bleeding, or take a biopsy of a suspicious area, such as a lung nodule.

What is bronchiectasis?

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition where the airways in the lungs become permanently widened and damaged, leading to a buildup of mucus and recurrent infections. Management focuses on preventing infections and clearing mucus from the airways to preserve lung function.

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

Preventing asthma or COPD from worsening is a partnership with Dr. Haares Mirzan. 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. Working together, we can help you maintain good lung health.

My partner says I snore loudly and stop breathing at night. Should I be concerned?

Yes, this is a classic sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Treating OSA is crucial for preventing long-term health problems like high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.
