Tap your main concern and we'll show what it usually points to and the diagnostics we'd normally begin with.
A cough lasting more than three weeks needs a chest X-ray review and lung function testing before it is treated as an infection.

01Lung Function Test
A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) measures how much air your lungs can hold, how fast you can move air in and out, and how efficiently oxygen passes from your lungs into your blood. It is the single most useful objective test in respiratory medicine.
30–45 minutes
02Sleep Study
A sleep study (polysomnography) records your brain waves, breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate and body movements through the night to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders.
Overnight (in-clinic) or 1 night (home)
03Forced Oscillation (FOT)
Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) is a modern, effort-independent way to assess airway resistance and reactance. Unlike spirometry, you only need to breathe normally — making it ideal for children, the elderly and patients with neuromuscular weakness.
15–20 minutes
04CPAP / BiPAP Therapy
A sleep study tells us whether you have obstructive sleep apnoea and how severe it is. CPAP or BiPAP therapy is what actually treats it — and the difference between therapy that works and therapy that ends up in a cupboard is almost entirely in the setup and follow-up.
Setup visit 30–45 minutes; overnight if lab titration is needed
05Interventional Pulmonology
Interventional pulmonology uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat diseases of the airways, lungs and chest cavity — avoiding open surgery in most cases.
30–60 minutes (plus recovery)
06Asthma, COPD & ILD Clinic
Chronic airway and interstitial lung diseases need consistent, personalised care — not just a one-time prescription. Our dedicated clinic offers structured follow-up, inhaler technique review, biologic therapy planning and pulmonary rehabilitation referral.
30–45 minutes per visit
07Allergy & Immunotherapy
Allergies underlie a large share of chronic cough, persistent rhinitis and difficult-to-control asthma. We offer structured allergy evaluation including skin-prick testing for common environmental allergens and immunotherapy planning where appropriate.
45–60 minutes
Speak with Dr. Arun — he'll guide you to the right evaluation based on your symptoms. Clinic consultations are Mon–Fri, 6:00–8:30 PM, at 18, Cowley Brown Road, R.S. Puram, Coimbatore 641002, Tamil Nadu, India.
All tests and procedures here are performed and reported by Dr. Arun Gangadhar.
