More recently, Dr Husain has been involved managing patients who have had Covid with lung involvement and continue to have chest and long Covid symptoms.
His current special interest has been diagnosing and managing patients with difficult chronic cough and unexplained breathlessness. This includes patients who have allergies attributing to cough.
He has support to get allergy tests, full lung functions, 6 minute walk tests, bronchial challenge tests, sleep studies, X-rays, CT or MRI scans. In addition, he is an experienced bronchoscopist and provides diagnostic bronchoscopy examination.
You may want to consult Dr. Husain:
- If you have undiagnosed cause of ongoing cough despite normal test results
- If you are experiencing breathlessness, wheeze, coughing with sputum or blood, repeated chest infections, weight loss, fever.
- When you or your GP wants to secure a more clear diagnosis of your symptoms
- When you wish to have a second opinion on a recently or previously made diagnosis elsewhere
- If you had a chest x-ray, which has been reported to have some abnormal finding
Most patients seen privately usually are referred from either a GP or another healthcare professional. However, self-referrals from within UK or abroad are also welcome if you have any concerns.
Please bring along details and results from previous treatments, any recent x-rays, CT scans (or their reports), blood test results along with list of your medications and the inhalers if you are using any of them.
