Respiratory & Lung Care

Respiratory & Lung Care — Comprehensive, Compassionate, Contemporary

Dr. Pallav Mishra

Breathing is life’s most intimate rhythm. When lungs and airways are healthy, you move through the day with ease; when they aren’t, even small tasks can become exhausting. At the Respiratory & Lung Care service led by Dr. Pallav Mishra, we combine deep clinical expertise, modern diagnostics, and a patient-first approach to restore breathing, reduce symptoms, and help you reclaim your energy and confidence.

Who we help

We treat people of all ages—children with recurrent cough, adults with chronic breathlessness, athletes seeking peak lung performance, and older patients managing long-term lung conditions. Whether you're seeing warning signs for the first time or need advanced, ongoing care, our service is designed to meet you where you are and build a clear, practical plan forward.

Conditions we diagnose & treat

We provide evidence-based care for a broad range of respiratory conditions, including:

• Asthma — personalized plans for trigger control, inhaler optimization, and long-term control.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) — smoking-related and non-smoking emphysema and chronic bronchitis management.
• Pneumonia & Acute Respiratory Infections — rapid assessment and treatment to prevent complications.
• Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) — thorough evaluation and coordination with multidisciplinary teams for complex care.
• Bronchiectasis — airway clearance strategies, infection control, and long-term monitoring.
• Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (including obstructive sleep apnea) — diagnosis and non-invasive treatment options.
• Pulmonary Hypertension — early recognition and tailored care pathways.
• Lung nodules & early detection — surveillance strategies with modern imaging protocols.
• Allergic lung diseases & occupational lung disease — environmental assessment and targeted therapies.
• Tobacco cessation support — practical programs to quit smoking and improve lung recovery.
   

Our approach — practical, precise, and personal

1. Thorough assessment: We start with a focused history and clinical exam—listening closely to your story, symptoms, and goals. We review prior tests and medications to identify gaps and opportunities.
2. State-of-the-art diagnostics: When needed, we use spirometry (lung function testing), pulse oximetry, chest imaging review, bronchoscopy referral, and coordinated sleep studies. Every test is chosen to answer specific clinical questions—not just to collect numbers.
3. Individualized treatment plans: No two lungs are identical. Your plan combines medications, inhaler technique training, pulmonary rehabilitation, lifestyle strategies, and when appropriate, minimally invasive procedures.
4. Multidisciplinary coordination: Complex cases often need a team—radiology, thoracic surgery, physiotherapy, infectious disease, and sleep medicine. Dr. Pallav Mishra leads coordinated care so you experience clarity, not confusion.
5. Education and self-management: We teach easy-to-follow breathing exercises, action plans for flare-ups, and practical steps to reduce triggers at home and work. Empowering you reduces emergency visits and improves day-to-day life.

• Smoking Cessation Package: Behavioral coaching, medication options, and relapse prevention tools designed to fit your lifestyle.
• Lung Health Screening & Surveillance: Personalized follow-up for lung nodules, occupational exposures, and chronic lung conditions.
   

What makes our care different

• Patient-first communication: We translate complex terms into simple choices. You’ll leave each visit knowing what will happen next and why.
• Practical plans you can follow: We design treatments around your life—work schedules, family responsibilities, and activity goals—so therapy is sustainable.
• Focus on function and quality of life: Beyond test results, we measure success by how well you walk, work, sleep, and play.
• Continuity of care: Dr. Pallav Mishra values long-term relationships; many patients appreciate having one clinician who understands their journey and adjusts care over time.
   

Preparing for your visit

Bring a list of symptoms (when they happen and what worsens or improves them), current medications (including inhalers), past test reports, and any relevant imaging if you have it. Expect a focused physical exam, possible lung function testing, and a clear next-step plan before you leave.

A note on emergencies

If you experience severe breathlessness, blue lips or face, sudden confusion, or fainting—seek emergency care immediately. Our clinic focuses on thorough outpatient care and rapid-access assessment, but life-threatening symptoms need urgent hospital attention.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will I be prescribed inhalers?
 A: Inhalers are common, but only when indicated. We tailor device choice and dose to your needs and spend time ensuring correct technique.

Q: Can lung function improve after quitting smoking?
 A: Yes. Quitting slows decline and can lead to meaningful improvements in symptoms and exercise tolerance. We offer structured support to help.

Q: Is pulmonary rehabilitation necessary?
 A: For many chronic lung conditions, pulmonary rehabilitation—supervised exercise plus education—significantly improves breathlessness, fitness, and confidence.

Take the next breath with confidence

If respiratory symptoms are limiting your life or you want a second opinion on a lung diagnosis, schedule a consultation with Dr. Pallav Mishra. Expect practical advice, a clear diagnostic roadmap, and treatment plans you can live with—because better breathing starts with care that understands you.
