The Chest and Pulmonology Department at Shilmoon Specialized Hospital specializes in diagnosing and managing a wide range of lung and respiratory diseases. We treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), respiratory tract infections, tuberculosis, pleural effusion, and sleep apnea. Equipped with diagnostic facilities including Spirometry (Spirogram / Lung Function Test) and advanced imaging technologies, we ensure that you receive an accurate diagnosis. Our chest specialists design comprehensive management programs to control symptoms, reduce exacerbations, and restore lung function. #### Tips for Improving Lung Health - • Avoid smoking and limit exposure to second-hand smoke or air pollution. - • Practice deep breathing exercises to improve lung capacity. - • Ensure proper ventilation at home and use air purifiers when necessary. - • Stay physically active to keep your respiratory muscles strong. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### What is Spirometry and how does it help? Spirometry is a simple breathing test that measures how much air you can inhale and exhale, as well as how fast you can empty your lungs. It is essential for diagnosing asthma and COPD. #### How can I tell the difference between a cold and asthma? A cold usually runs its course in a week or two and includes nasal congestion. Asthma symptoms, such as wheezing, coughing, and chest tightness, persist for longer and are triggered by factors like allergens, cold air, or exercise. #### Pulmonary Rehabilitation & Long-Term Asthma Care Our chest and respiratory team goes beyond simple prescription. We provide structured pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients suffering from long-term lung conditions like COPD, chronic bronchitis, and interstitial lung diseases. Our pulmonary therapists teach patients breathing techniques to conserve energy, clear secretions, and perform daily physical tasks with less fatigue. For asthma patients, we provide custom trigger-management plans. We help identify allergens, weather-related triggers, or occupational hazards that exacerbate respiratory symptoms. By combining inhaler training, allergy testing, and regular lung function tests (Spirometry), we ensure patients lead active, symptom-free lives. ![Shilmoon Specialized Hospital Logo](../images/favicon.png) SHILMOON Specialized Hospital Providing top-tier specialized clinical excellence and compassionate healthcare services in Tongi, Gazipur. location_on 188 Shilmoon, Tongi-Pubail Road, Tongi, Gazipur phone Hotline: 10612 mail info@shilmoon.hospital #### Quick Links - [About Us](../about.html) - [Departments](../departments.html) - [Services](../services.html) - [Doctors](../doctors.html) - [Photo Gallery](../gallery.html) - [Blogs](../blogs.html) - [Contact](../contact.html) #### Key Services - [Dialysis Unit](../services.html) - [ICU & NICU](../services.html) - [Radiology & Imaging](../services.html) - [C-ARM Operation Theatre](../services.html) #### Opening Hours Emergency: 24/7 Available OPD Doctors: 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM Diagnostics: 24 Hours Open © 2026 Shilmoon Specialized Hospital.
