I am a consultant pulmonologist, working every day with patients who come in with breathing trouble that ranges from a simple cough that won’t go away to serious conditions like COPD, asthma or interstitial lung disease. Over years I learnt that respiratory problems are not only about lungs but also about how they impact the whole life of a person, sleep, work, even simple things like walking a few steps. I see a lot of tuberculosis cases too, and post covid complications which are becoming more frequent than anyone expected. Many patients still stuggle with fatigue, breathlessness or sleep issues even months later, and I try to guide them with a mix of medical treatment, lifestyle adjustments and constant follow ups. At Apollo Hospitals Bengaluru I am part of the lung transplant team. Working on lung transplants has been one of the most intense and fulfilling part of my career.. it takes coordination, long hours, and a team that trusts each other. I had chance to be involved in multiple successful transplants, and each case reminds me that even in the most advanced procedures, patient centric care matters the most. I focus strongly on evidence based medicine, but I also try to listen carefully to what the patient is telling me, sometimes a small detail like sleep disturbance points toward a hidden disorder. I deal with sleep apnea, allergies, chronic bronchitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and other complex lung problems. My approach is to explain clearly what the condition means, how treatment works, what can be expected – because many patients feel anxious when they dont fully understand the illness. In short my work is about diagnosing correctly, treating responsibly and helping patients regain quality of life. Whether its long term asthma control, rehabilitation after covid, or advanced transplant follow up, my goal remain same: safe and effective care that improves breathing and overall well being.

Have timely meals Give a gap of at least 2 hours between dinner and sleep Stress can also increase excess gastric acid production If still persistent, consult for medication

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

It looks like you’re facing digestive discomfort along with issues in sleep and mental calm, possibly due to overproduction of gas and improper food digestion. A multifaceted approach will help tackle these issues. First, consider evaluating your diet. Large meals or foods that are hard to digest, like those rich in fats, gluten, beans, or fried items may contribute to your symptoms. Try opting for smaller, frequent meals and incorporate fiber-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Some people find relief by avoiding carbonated drinks as they’re known to increase gas formation. Drinking plenty of water but not during meals can help promote smoother digestion. Physical activity is another important aspect; regular exercise can enhance the digestive process and help relieve stress, which may also influence your sleep. Consider activities like walking or yoga for at least 30 minutes each day. Stress and anxiety can increase gastric issues and disrupt your sleep. Techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation might help in managing these stressors. Also, maintain a regular sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine. If these self-care measures don’t bring notable improvements, or if symptoms worsen, visiting a healthcare professional would be wise to rule out any underlying conditions like IBS or gastroesophageal reflux disease. A precise diagnosis, potentially with tests like endoscopy or a food allergy check, might be necessary for tailored treatment. Over-the-counter products like simethicone for gas relief or melatonin for sleep may help, but they should be used under advisement of a doctor. Avoid any herbal supplements without medical guidance as they might interact with underlying conditions or medications. Always remember that consistent issues with digestion warrant a professional evaluation to prevent complications later on.
