Lung and Sleep is a medical practice in the specialist area of lung disease and sleep medicine.
We create videos for medical education. Here you will find interesting content on lung diseases and sleep disorders such as lung cancer, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, COPD, sleep apnoea and insomnia.
We also like to show case studies where we correlate clinical presentations showing the CT scan and X-ray findings followed by procedure findings such as bronchoscopy. This is the best way to learn about diseases because you can literally see the whole process. This is excellent training for medical students and for students in all areas of healthcare.
We also have videos to explain and show what occurs during tests patients have such as bronchoscopy, lung function tests and sleep studies.
I hope you find these helpful in understanding medical conditions and their treatment.

Thank you for this video. It was very informative and gives me hope. My asthma has never been this bad. Saw a doctor and he said my fvc is at 54%..I feel like every breath is not giving me enough air…on prednisone but it’s hard to relax… i feel anxiety in my chest and I can’t calm it, I feel like my body is in a stressed state because of the lack of air and trying to think positive is just not gonna fix that and makes this even more unbearable….this video gave me hope and is helping me calm down…even though he said my numbers are what he’s seen in COPD patients I do NOT have COPD…it is just my asthma and I need to take it more seriously….please anyone reading this with asthma take your medication and inhalers…do not skip days or stop because you feel fine….when this ish is exacerbated its hell…take care of yourself, eat healthy and eat right ….we’re all getting older and I can’t imagine going through this old and without my family 😢…..it might be in my mind, but I feel it helps when I breathe and then exhale longer than I inhaled….just pushing more air out than I took in kinda makes the next breath feel “normal” ish…and remembering it’s asthma…so drink water, gargle salt water, drink hot tea, keep working to get as much mucus out as you can
Loved this video. Very thorough and well explained. I've had chronic phlegm and throat clearing for over two months. I have been using a CPAP for two years and have wondered if the CPAP, even with humidification and diligent cleaning could be drying my throat and creating the mucus that creates my urge to cough. Nothing online by CPAP people discusses that as a side effect.
My husband had a hilar mass on right lung and he has Mantle Cell Lymphoma. It is a refractory relapse after 7 yrs remission. Bendecca made tumor grow from a lime size to a pear size. Then came radiation therapy. Now he’s suffering from Rituxan Lung with fever, difficulty breathing, lung problems in both lungs showing up. I always knew he had an unusual case. Lmk if you want to know more.
There are many suffering from symptoms long after the acute stage, whether you want to believe it or not. This video will only serve to make them feel more "hopeless abd alone". They should watch Dr. Jacco Laubscher videos for science based information on treatments that are working.
It would be much better to demonstrate a real patient using the spirometer while explain the cprresponding coordinates on the flow volume graph, instead of only using powerpoint slides which makes the video more like an audiobook than a teaching
I have "long covid" and this makes sense to me. I think viruses have always been able to damage the nervous system. And all of the stressors you mentioned have also always been able to damage the nervous system. So it was the perfect storm for many & a potent virus. Long Covid is nerve and tissue damage from inflammation - in different places for different people & there's just something different about Covid's spike proteins that we don't understand. Stress also can cause inflammation.. big time. I wish we never separated mental and physical health in our thought processes. It's always been 1 thing - a whole concept that we split in 2. Medicine would be so much farther in its evolution if we hadn't done that.
my mother removed the urethra 2 years ago due to cancer and she have a sack outside of her abdomin to collect urine but we didn't give her any chemotherapy or radiation therapy in 2024 we discovered metastasis cancer in sigmoid and vagainal colorectal fistula we immediately started radiation around 28 radiation sessions in one month and platinol chemotherapy every week for one month now we finished the treatment and doctors told us to wait for one month to do checkups including MRI with contrast on abdomin and pelvic and my mother is suffering from chest tightness and i am afraid that the cancer has traveled in the off month to the lungs since it's been aroun 20 days since the last radiation session is it possible for the cancer to spread in that short time thanks
This vid totally disregards the fact that people who suffer from this “made up” long covid area still indeed suffering from it. Just because you don’t know what is doesn’t make it nonexistent. Sounds to me like you need to get off your soap box and actually do some research if your own. The inability of your cells to intake and process oxygen is a very real thing and has many negative effects on the body, as one could imagine.
Let’s also not forget all the workman’s comp money ppl are getting for “long covid” and seeing them live their best lives online traveling and having a great time and getting paid
Yes because Bronchoscopy gives you a dynamic view and a CT is only a single breath hold. You can do an expiratory view on CT. But Bronchoscopy shows what happens during breathing and coughing
