COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, mucus production, and wheezing. It is most commonly caused by long-term exposure to cigarette smoke. Dr. Hsieh provides comprehensive COPD management including medication therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation referrals, and ongoing monitoring.

What are common symptoms of sleep apnea?

Common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) include loud snoring, episodes of stopped breathing during sleep witnessed by another person, abrupt awakenings with gasping or choking, morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty concentrating, and irritability. If you experience these symptoms, a sleep evaluation can determine if you have sleep apnea.

What is interstitial lung disease?

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a group of more than 200 disorders that cause inflammation and scarring (fibrosis) of the lung tissue surrounding the air sacs (alveoli). This scarring makes the lung interstitium thick and stiff, impairing the lungs' ability to expand fully and transfer oxygen into the bloodstream. Common causes include environmental and occupational exposures, autoimmune and connective tissue diseases, certain medications, and infections including COVID-19. In many cases, the cause is unknown — the most common of these is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Symptoms typically include progressive shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, fatigue, and in some cases, finger clubbing. Dr. Hsieh provides comprehensive evaluation and ongoing management of interstitial lung diseases.
