🌬️ “Just breathe.” Our lungs are the foundation of every breath we take, yet lung health is often overlooked.

A big thank you to Gold 90.5FM for hosting Dr Aneez Ahmed on air, where he shared about lung health and how simple deep breathing exercises can support better lung function. 🫁

✨ For those who missed the live session, stay tuned — we’ll be sharing snippets of the highlights here on IG soon, or you can visit our website to learn more.

Take a deep breath today — and appreciate the power of every inhale and exhale. 💙

Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can sometimes have roots in thoracic nerve dysfunction or underlying chest disease.

Possible Thoracic-Related Causes of Excessive Sweating:

- Primary Hyperhidrosis: Overactivity of chest sympathetic nerves leading to sweaty palms, face, or underarms.

- Lung Infections: Tuberculosis and severe pneumonia can trigger night sweats and systemic symptoms.

- Mediastinal Tumors: Growths in the central chest area may compress nerves, affecting sweat regulation.

- Thoracic Nerve Compression: Pressure on sympathetic nerves from trauma or tumors can disrupt normal sweating patterns.

- Autonomic Dysfunction: Disruption of the nervous system controlling sweat glands.

Sweaty palms or underarms — even when you're not hot or stressed?

It might not be hormonal.
In some people, excessive sweating in the hands or armpits is linked to overactive chest nerves — part of the same system that regulates heart and lung function.

📍Studies show that palmar hyperhidrosis may reflect increased sympathetic activity, which plays a role in both sweating and cardiovascular health.

If this affects your quality of life, there are treatment options — including nerve-targeted therapies and minimally invasive solutions.

May is Thymic Malignancy Awareness Month

🫁 Thymoma and Thymic Carcinoma
A rare cancer that starts in the thymus gland, located in your upper chest, behind the breastbone, which is asymptomatic [incidental finding]. Though uncommon, it can be life-threatening if undetected.

⚠️ Signs to Watch For:
🔸 Central chest pain or tightness
🔸 Muscle weakness
🔸 Droopy eyelids and difficulty swallowing
🔸 Unexplained fatigue
🔸 Loss of appetite and weight loss

✅ Why Early Detection Matters
Thymic cancers may grow silently. Early screening and diagnosis make a real difference in treatment success.

👉 If you have persistent symptoms, speak to a thoracic specialist.

19/04/2025

Persistent cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath could be signs of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Understanding the cause is crucial to managing the condition and preventing further complications.

The main causes include:

Smoking: The leading cause of COPD, as cigarette smoke irritates and inflames the lungs.

Air Pollution: Prolonged exposure to environmental pollutants, including workplace dust and chemicals, can contribute to lung damage.

Genetics: In rare cases, a genetic disorder called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency can lead to COPD, even in non-smokers.

Respiratory Infections: Frequent severe respiratory infections during childhood can increase the risk of developing COPD in later life.

Recognising the early signs and addressing the causes can make a big difference in managing COPD. If you're experiencing persistent symptoms, don't wait—take the first step towards better lung health today.
