COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a chronic lung condition that causes airflow obstruction, commonly leading to breathing difficulty, coughing, and wheezing. It's most often caused by long-term exposure to cigarette smoke, and Dr. Abdallah provides comprehensive management including medication therapy and ongoing monitoring.

Common signs include loud snoring, pauses in breathing during sleep witnessed by someone else, morning headaches, and excessive daytime sleepiness. If these sound familiar, a sleep evaluation can help determine whether you have sleep apnea.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition where lung tissue becomes scarred over time, making it harder for the lungs to function properly. Symptoms include shortness of breath, a dry cough, and fatigue. Early diagnosis and ongoing management can help slow its progression.

Most lung nodules are benign, but they should be evaluated. Dr. Abdallah can review your imaging, assess your risk factors, and recommend appropriate follow-up — which may include repeat imaging or further evaluation via bronchoscopy.
