Respiratory Health & Pulmonology in Dubai

Clear Diagnosis & Long-Term Care for Breathing and Chest Conditions in Dubai

Breathing difficulties can arise suddenly or develop slowly over time. Whether it’s asthma, chronic cough, chest infections, or long-standing lung conditions like COPD, careful evaluation is essential to ensure proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

As an experienced Internal Medicine Specialist in Dubai, Dr. Jadeer Akkapparambil provides comprehensive care for a wide range of respiratory conditions. His approach combines detailed assessment, appropriate investigations, and long-term management helping patients breathe easier and prevent complications.

Why Respiratory Evaluation Is Important:

Chronic disease management means more than simply writing prescriptions or adjusting medication doses. It involves:

  • Breathing issues may signal underlying chronic diseases that need long-term management.
  • Recurrent chest infections may indicate weakened immunity or lung function problems.
  • Early diagnosis helps prevent long-term lung damage and reduce hospitalization risks.
  • Chronic cough should never be ignored especially if persistent beyond 3-4 weeks.

Conditions Managed:

Asthma

  • Careful diagnosis based on symptom patterns, triggers, and lung function
  • Personalized inhaler plans and medication adjustments
  • Education on inhaler techniques, trigger avoidance, and long-term control
  • Monitoring to reduce flare-ups and maintain stable lung function

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

  • Diagnosis of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or smoking-related lung damage
  • Smoking cessation support
  • Bronchodilator therapy to improve breathing capacity
  • Preventive care to minimize exacerbations and hospital admissions

Recurrent Chest Infections

  • Evaluation for repeated episodes of bronchitis, pneumonia, or lower respiratory tract infections
  • Investigation of possible immune, structural, or lifestyle factors contributing to recurrence
  • Preventive strategies and vaccinations to reduce future infections

Chronic Cough

  • Evaluation of cough lasting longer than 3-4 weeks
  • Identifying causes such as post-nasal drip, reflux, asthma, chronic bronchitis, or less common conditions
  • Stepwise management plan tailored to the underlying cause

Shortness of Breath / Breathlessness

  • Assessment of breathing difficulty during activity or at rest
  • Differentiating cardiac, pulmonary, or metabolic contributors
  • Coordinating lung function tests and imaging if needed

The Evaluation Process:

Without proper management, chronic diseases can silently damage your organs for years before obvious symptoms appear. The goal of comprehensive care is to:

  • Thorough history of symptoms, environmental triggers, lifestyle factors, and occupational exposures
  • Physical examination focusing on lung sounds and breathing patterns
  • Pulmonary function testing (spirometry) where appropriate
  • Chest imaging (X-ray or CT scan) if indicated
  • Ongoing treatment adjustments based on response and stability

“Breathing symptoms can often be controlled very effectively when the underlying cause is properly identified. My focus is always to help patients achieve stable, comfortable breathing not just during flare-ups, but every day.”
