<h3>Asthma and its symptoms</h3>Asthma is a long-term illness that affects the lungs' airways. The airways swell as the condition progresses due to a lack of oxygen. As a result, they become hypersensitive to certain substances that people inhale. Chest tightness, wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing are all common symptoms. <h3>Diagnosis&nbsp;</h3>Doctors use a physical exam, medical history, and a variety of tests, including pulmonary function tests, to confirm an asthma diagnosis and rule out other conditions that may appear similar, such as seasonal allergies and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A patient's asthma severity will most likely be classified into one of four categories based on their symptoms. <h3>There are two types of asthma: "intrinsic" and "extrinsic."&nbsp;</h3>Extrinsic asthma:is caused by allergens such as pollen, mites, dust, tobacco smoke, and so on, whereas intrinsic asthma is caused by a respiratory tract infection. Extrinsic asthma, which usually begins in childhood, is far more common than intrinsic asthma, which affects only a small percentage of the population after the age of 30.&nbsp;Intrinsic asthma:on the other hand, is more difficult to treat due to obesity as one of the main risk factors and chronic symptoms.After a series of tests and consideration of the patient's entire medical history, asthma allergy is diagnosed. A physical exam is performed after the inquiry, followed by lung function tests to confirm asthma. <h3>Nocturnal asthma</h3>It is one of the asthma types in which people with asthma find it difficult to cope at night, and they experience symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath, which disrupt their sleep. These symptoms are common in people who have uncontrolled asthma. As per experts, the circadian rhythm is to blame. In addition, excessive humidity, a dirty pillowcase, a large meal before bed, undiagnosed sleep apnea, and other factors can trigger nocturnal asthma. <h3>Asthma And Food Allergies</h3>Certain foods should be avoided by asthma patients because they may aggravate their symptoms. Food allergies and asthma can make life difficult for you. A food allergy is defined as an overreaction of the body's immune system to certain harmless proteins, resulting in the release of a chemical called histamine. Hives, rash, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are all signs that someone has developed a food allergy. Food allergies are commonly associated with foods such as eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts (cashews, almonds, filberts, etc.), soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, and shrimp. Food allergies and asthma attacks can be avoided by avoiding these foods.Asthmatic patients should avoid foods containing omega-6 fatty acids and trans-fats because they aggravate asthma symptoms. Processed foods, as well as some types of margarine, must be avoided. <h3>Asthma-Relieving Exercises</h3>Physical activities are thought to aggravate asthma allergies, but this is incorrect. However, some exercises can be extremely beneficial for asthma sufferers. Swimming and other swimming-related exercises help to strengthen the breathing muscles. It also improves lung function and cardiovascular fitness. Yoga is another excellent exercise for asthma sufferers. In addition, asthma patients can maintain their fitness regimen by walking, biking, hiking, golfing, gymnastics, and other physical activities.&nbsp; <h3>Treatment with natural ingredients</h3>There is no natural treatment for asthma. Natural therapies, on the other hand, can treat the majority of its symptoms. Going for relaxation therapies such as deep abdominal breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, and biofeedback can also help if you're having an asthma attack due to emotional stress. A healthy diet is unquestionably beneficial in reducing asthma symptoms. Salmon, mackerel, and cod, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids, must also be included in the diet. <h3>Other management options</h3>Inhaling vaporized medications through a device called an inhaler is a necessary part of most people's asthma management. These drugs may help to reduce inflammation, dilate (open) the airways, and cause other positive changes. Long-acting drugs are used to manage symptoms over time, while fast-acting drugs are used to provide immediate relief during asthma attacks. Lifestyle changes and medical management of the associated disease or presenting illness can also benefit.

<h2>Thyroid self-assessment&nbsp;</h2>Early detection is critical for successfully treating any thyroid problem. To assist with this, perform a self-exam known as the "neck check." Looking into a mirror, extending your neck, and gently turning your head slightly left and then right can help you detect a lump or enlargement.&nbsp;You may have a lump or goiter if the surface of your neck below your Adam's apple and above your collar bone is uneven or protruding even slightly. You should see an endocrinologist right away.To get thyroid treatment or learn more about thyroid management, contact our endocrinologist.<h2>Fact sheet&nbsp;</h2>Myth: Your symptoms will go away right away if you start taking thyroid medicationTruth: It takes time for thyroid levels to return to normal. Few people take medication for months before they start feeling better. Myth: People with thyroid conditions should continue to take medication throughout their lives.Truth: It is dependent on the cause of your condition. Thyroid issues can occur during or after pregnancy for some women. The thyroid may adjust itself once the body's hormones have stabilized. Also, prescriptions may change over time. At times, individuals with an underactive thyroid may require additional thyroid hormones during pregnancy. Myth: It's okay to skip medicine if your symptoms aren't bothering you.Truth: The thyroid hormone is in charge of many vital organ functions. Failure to treat even a mild case of thyroid disease can result in serious health issues such as heart disease, weak bones (osteoporosis), and/or inability to have children (infertility). Myth: I can stop taking my medications once I feel better and my lab results are normal.Truth: Regardless of how well you feel, it is critical that you continue to take your medications on a regular basis. Leave the decision to change or discontinue medication to an endocrinologist. Myth: All thyroid nodules or lumps are cancerous.Truth: This is not correct. In fact, only about 10% of thyroid nodules are cancerous. Several diagnostic procedures can be used to determine whether your nodule or lump is one of the rare cancerous lumps. Nodules that form in thyroid glands that are functioning normally are less likely to be cancerous than those that form in hyperthyroid patients.&nbsp;Radiation exposure, combined with advanced age, may increase the likelihood of a thyroid lump is cancerous. If thyroid nodules are not cancerous or interfering with your daily life, most doctors will leave them alone and reevaluate them every 6-12 months. Myth: It is a female disorderTruth: Though, as with most autoimmune diseases, it affects far more women than men, men are not uncommonly diagnosed with hypothyroidism. TFT levels should be checked every five years if you are healthy, but if you have been diagnosed with hyper/hypothyroidism, TFT levels should be checked more frequently. Myth: I must follow a special diet because of my thyroid conditionTruth: Thyroid disease is not a lifestyle disease. Don't feed your brain with false information from non-medical websites. People with thyroid disorders, like everyone else, need to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Thyroid disorders are not caused by diet, so they won’t even be cured by diet.Get in touch with our endocrinologist if you suspect you have a thyroid disorder. TO KNOW MORE, BOOK AN APPOINTMENT NOW.

<img src="https://d3t5ai5vcxyqte.cloudfront.net/media/wbiblwn.jpg" alt="B.P.-management.jpg">High blood pressure is usually caused by the narrowing of the arteries caused by the buildup of a sticky substance called plaque. Plaque forms as a result of excess cholesterol in your blood, which is typically caused by a diet high in certain types of fats and low in fibre.As plaque accumulates along the artery walls, the arteries become less flexible and less capable of efficiently transporting blood. This is referred to as artery "hardening."&nbsp;High blood pressure can also be caused by smoking, obesity or being overweight, excessive drinking or other substance abuse, and being physically inactive. Blood pressure is also more common in the elderly.Various medications can be used to keep blood pressure under control. Quitting smoking, reducing unhealthy fats, and consuming more fibre along with regular exercise are all important lifestyle changes.&nbsp;It's critical to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis to ensure that your treatment is working. High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms until serious damage occurs, thus making regular checkups all the more important.&nbsp;&nbsp;BOOK AN APPOINTMENT NOW.&nbsp;
