At Reem Hospital we provide you with the treatment and management of these conditions:
Asthma is a common chronic illness that affects people worldwide. In the UAE, it affects about 13-15% of the population and is more common in children. Asthma causes symptoms like coughing, wheezing, feeling short of breath, and tightness in the chest.
To manage asthma, it’s important to avoid asthma triggers, like smoke or dust. Most people with asthma use inhalers to help them breathe better. At Reem Hospital, we offer advanced biologic medicine that helps reduce asthma symptoms by desensitization of the body to asthma triggers. It’s given as injections once or twice a month.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent lung condition that leads to airflow restriction and breathing difficulties, resulting in symptoms like coughing, breathing difficulties, wheezing, and fatigue.
The key risk factors for COPD are smoking and exposure to air pollution. Individuals with COPD are at a higher risk of developing other health issues like lung cancer.
While COPD cannot be cured, symptoms can improve with lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, avoiding air pollution, and receiving vaccinations to prevent infections. Treatment options include medications, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Chest infections encompass a range of respiratory tract infections, with pneumonia being a particularly aggressive type that often requires hospitalization and treatment with potent antibiotics. Pneumonia has different forms according to the causative factor,
Interstitial lung diseases encompass various conditions such as pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiolitis, chemical pneumonitis, and related syndromes. These diseases can result in fibrosis of the lungs, which restricts their expansion during inhalation and makes breathing difficult. Consequently, the body may experience a shortage of oxygen, leading to various health complications.
Sleep disorders: snoring and sleep apnea syndrome.
