Wheezing on exhaleNighttime coughing fitsChest tightness with cold air
When to Consult:

When daily inhalers fail to control wheeze, flare-ups occur frequently, or sleep is repeatedly disrupted.

Diagnostic Approach:

FeNO breath testing, spirometry with reversibility, inhaler technique audit, and targeted biologic therapies.

Airway Disorders

COPD & Chronic Bronchitis

Progressive, irreversible airflow narrowing commonly linked to smoking, dust, or biomass exposure.

Persistent morning cough with phlegmProgressive breathless walkingFrequent chest infections
Diagnostic & Complex

Unexplained Chronic Cough (> 3 Weeks)

A persistent cough that fails standard antibiotics, allergy pills, or cough syrups.

Dry or ticklish throat coughCoughing triggered by speaking or laughingFits preventing sleep
Diagnostic & Complex

Unexplained Breathlessness (Dyspnea)

Sudden or insidious decline in breathing stamina without an obvious heart problem.

Air hunger doing minor choresInability to take a deep breathRapid shallow breathing
Parenchymal & Interstitial

Pulmonary Fibrosis & ILD

Microscopic lung tissue scarring that hampers oxygen transfer into the bloodstream.

Dry Velcro-like crackles on chestPersistent dry coughFinger clubbing
Diagnostic & Complex

Solitary Lung Nodules & Abnormal Scans

Incidental shadow, spot, or nodule detected on chest CT or X-ray requiring expert characterization.

Often zero symptomsOccasional mild chest discomfortCough or blood-tinged sputum

Patient Guidance & Preparation

Your Consultation Checklist

Arriving well-prepared avoids duplicate scans, speeds up diagnostic clarity, and allows dedicated time for detailed discussion of your radiological films.

Essential

Chest Scans & DICOM CDs

High-Resolution CT (HRCT) chest, standard X-rays, and PET scans. Please bring printed reports and digital CDs.

Vital

Inhaler Devices & Spacers

Bring your actual daily inhalers (MDI, DPI, Respimat). Dr. Roy verifies proper inhalation flow and canister technique.

Diagnostic

Previous PFT & Spirometry

Prior lung function tests, diffusion capacity (DLCO), fractional nitric oxide (FeNO), or 6-minute walk tests.

History

Hospital & Lab Summaries

Discharge summaries, sputum cultures, blood gas reports, or prior bronchoscopy procedure notes.

Modern respiratory consultation clinic suite at Star Hospitals
Unrushed Clinical Assessment

Every consultation includes dedicated time for direct CT film review, listening to your symptom timeline, and physical chest examination.

Inhaler Technique Check: Over 70% of asthma and COPD patients use inhalers sub-optimally. Bringing your actual device allows Dr. Roy to audit your inhalation technique and maximize drug deposition in the lungs.
