“Breathing is something we take for granted until it becomes difficult. My goal is to identify the root cause of your breathlessness—whether it’s an allergy, infection, or structural issue—and treat it before it damages your lungs permanently.”
– Dr. Amiya Pandey
Diseases We Treat & How We Help
- Asthma & Allergies
- What is it? A chronic condition where your airways narrow and swell, often triggered by dust, pollen, or cold weather.
- The Harm (If Untreated): Ignoring asthma can lead to “Airway Remodeling”—permanent scarring of the lungs that makes breathing difficult for life. Severe attacks can be fatal.
- How We Help:
- Diagnosis: We use Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) (Rs 2000) to measure exactly how much air your lungs can hold.
- Treatment: Customized inhaler plans and immunotherapy to desensitize you to allergens.
- Tuberculosis (TB) & Pneumonia
- What is it? Serious bacterial infections that attack the lung tissue.
- The Harm: TB can eat away at lung tissue (cavitation) and spread to the spine or brain. Pneumonia causes fluid buildup, leading to dangerously low oxygen levels.
- How We Help:
- Rigorous Treatment: We follow the gold-standard protocol for TB (DOTS) and monitor liver function to ensure medicines don’t harm you.
- Recovery: Chest physiotherapy (Rs 1200) helps clear the mucus from lungs after the infection is gone.
- COPD & Smoker’s Lungs
- What is it? Long-term damage to lungs, usually from smoking or chulha smoke.
- The Harm: It leads to “Respiratory Failure,” where you might need an oxygen machine 24/7 just to survive.
- How We Help:
- Smoking Cessation: We don’t just say “quit.” We provide medical support to manage withdrawal cravings.
- Rehabilitation: Exercises to increase your lung capacity.
- Pleural Effusion (Water in Lungs) & Pneumothorax (Air in Chest)
- What is it? Fluid or air gets trapped in the gap between the lung and chest wall, crushing the lung.
- The Harm: If not drained, the lung can collapse completely, causing sudden heart failure or death.
- How We Help:
- Intervention: Dr. Amiya specializes in Thoracoscopy (Rs 15000) and Chest Tube Placement. We insert a tiny tube to drain the fluid/pus safely and re-expand the lung.
- Sleep Apnea (Snoring)
- What is it? Your breathing stops repeatedly while you sleep.
- The Harm: It increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and sudden death in sleep. It also causes daytime exhaustion.
How We Help: We conduct sleep studies and provide CPAP titration to keep your airways open at night.
