That pigeon-feeding habit could be affecting your lungs.

Pigeon feathers and droppings can trigger Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, causing lung inflammation that may progress to lung fibrosis with continued exposure.

A persistent cough, breathlessness or getting tired after walking short distances should not be ignored.

If you have regular pigeon exposure, remove the source and consult a pulmonologist for proper evaluation.

Early diagnosis can make a difference.

Sharing my latest article, published by Hindustan Times and MSN, on an important aspect of lung health.

Think no cough means healthy lungs? Not necessarily.

While cough is one of the most recognised warning signs of a respiratory problem, some lung conditions can develop without a persistent cough and may present with subtle symptoms.

In the article, I discuss the other warning signs to watch for and why the absence of a cough should not be taken as a sign of healthy lungs.

Is it asthma or just bronchitis? 🤔

A persistent cough in your child can be confusing, but a few subtle signs can help you understand what’s going on.

🌙 Frequent night-time coughing or waking up
🏃 Coughing or panting during sports and outdoor play
🤧 Frequent runny nose or allergic rhinitis
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 A family history of asthma or allergies
🌡️ Cough without fever or signs of infection

While bronchitis is often linked to a viral infection and fever, asthma can show up differently.

The good news? **Early diagnosis and the right treatment can help children with asthma stay active, healthy, and grow into normal, healthy adults.**

If you notice these signs in your child, speak to a pediatrician and consider objective testing such as spirometry or, when appropriate, impulse oscillometry.

Did you know asthma symptoms often get worse at night?

If you or a loved one frequently wakes up between 2 AM and 4 AM with coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath, don't ignore it.

Night-time asthma isn't "normal." It's often a sign that your asthma isn't well controlled.

Several factors can make symptoms worse at night:
• Natural changes in hormone levels
• Narrowing of the airways during sleep
• Mucus buildup
• Dust mites, allergens, and cold air

Many people keep reaching for their rescue inhaler, thinking that's enough. But if you need it regularly at night, your treatment plan may need to be adjusted.

The goal isn't to manage repeated symptoms. It's to prevent them.

If you're waking up because of asthma, consult your pulmonologist. A simple change in your controller medication may help you breathe comfortably through the night.

Don't let a trend take your breath away.

Va**ng may look modern, harmless, or even "safer" than smoking.

But va**ng can lead to Ni****ne addiction, airway irritation, reduced lung function, and long-term health risks can begin much earlier than most people realise.

Your lungs don't see trends. They only feel the damage.

This World No To***co Day, let's unmask the appeal of ni****ne and choose health over habit.

Ever wondered if you could develop COPD even without smoking?🚭 The answer is yes.

In India, factors like air pollution, occupational exposure, and biomass (chulha) smoke are major contributors.

​Don't ignore the signs!
A chronic cough or persistent breathlessness that lasts more than 8 weeks shouldn't be overlooked. Early diagnosis through spirometry is key to managing your lung health.

​Take charge of your breathing today. Listen to Dr. Jeenam Shah’s advice and reach out if you’re concerned. 🫁✨

Your inhaler is not the problem. Your technique is. 🫁

Most people with asthma or COPD don't realise this — the medicine is fine. The way you're using the device is what's failing you.

Not exhaling before you inhale. Breathing in too fast. Not holding your breath long enough. These tiny mistakes silently cut your medicine's effectiveness in half.

And the device matters too — an MDI, a DPI, a nebulizer — each one has a completely different technique.

✅ Correct technique = 40% fewer hospital visits
❌ Wrong technique = your condition never truly gets controlled

Next appointment? Bring your inhaler. Ask your pulmonologist to watch you use it. One small correction can change everything.
