The passing away of Mr. Bappi Lahri due to Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has brought back the limelight to this widely prevalent yet under recognised disease entity.

As AQI climbs, protecting our lungs becomes more important than ever.
I spoke with @PTI_News, (which was also featured in @IndianExpress and @ThePrintIndia) about practical measures to minimise exposure to air pollution and protect respiratory health.

VIDEO | Lucknow: Ahead of Diwali, pulmonologist Dr Abhishek Tandon advises people to use air purifiers and N95 masks to reduce exposure to air pollution.
Dr Tandon says that, if possible, people should stay indoors for at least one week during Diwali, keeping their windows and doors closed. They can also install a good-quality air purifier at home, especially in the bedroom, where they spend most of their time. He also advises people to wear a good-quality N95 mask whenever they step outside.
Dr Tandon further suggests home remedies such as drinking black coffee or adding ginger and honey to lukewarm water, which he says act as natural antioxidants and help flush harmful substances out of the body.

I spoke to @timesofindia about vaping, this World Lung Day because I am increasingly seeing young patients with persistent cough, wheezing and breathlessness who vape regularly. The belief that vaping is harmless because there is no smoke needs to change.
