For my patients with asthma, "How can I boost my immunity?" is a top priority.

While exercise is important, one of the first things I check in my clinic is Vitamin D levels.

Why? Because low Vitamin D can actually make asthma worse.

Here in Dubai, many of us are deficient even with all the sun. It is so important to get your levels checked and supplement if needed—sometimes with a high dose to boost your levels.

This is a key message for everyone I treat with airway allergies or asthma.

To discuss your asthma management plan, call +971 043786666 to book a consultation at Al Zahra Hospital.

❄️ Winter is coming, and that often means a higher risk of infections and pneumonia.

As a pulmonologist, I want to help you and your family stay healthy. Here are 3 simple precautions I recommend:

1️⃣ Practice Good Hand Hygiene: This is so important. Children often bring infections home from school, so have them (and you!) wash hands thoroughly as soon as they enter the house.

2️⃣ Be Aware of Your Environment: If someone at home is sick, try to avoid close contact. In crowded public places, wearing a mask is still a good way to prevent catching infections.

3️⃣ Consider Vaccines: Vaccines are a key part of prevention. I particularly recommend the Pneumonia Vaccine and the annual Flu Vaccine (Flu Jab) for those in at-risk groups, especially anyone over 60.

It's always better to prevent infections if you can. If you have any respiratory concerns, I am here to help.

I get asked this all the time: "What's the difference between a chest infection and pneumonia?"

Pneumonia is essentially an infection in the lung tissue (the respiratory tract).

It's important to take it seriously as it can cause significant problems, like high fever. As we head into winter, it's crucial to know the signs. If you have a persistent cough and high fever, don't ignore it.

For any respiratory concerns, I am here to help.

It was an honour to be an invited speaker at the Global Summit on Maternal and Child Health in Dubai, hosted by MEDGLOBAL CONNECT.

My presentation focused on the 'Subject of Breathlessness in Expectant Mothers.' This is a common concern I hear in my clinic , and it's crucial to understand when breathlessness is a normal part of pregnancy versus when it might signal an underlying respiratory condition.

It was a valuable summit, and I was pleased to connect with so many dedicated colleagues working to improve maternal and child health.

For any concerns about your respiratory health—during pregnancy or otherwise—I am here to help.

To book a consultation, please call Al Zahra Hospital at +971 043786666.

On World Pneumonia Day, my message is simple: prevention.

Pneumonia can be a serious infection, but you can take steps to protect yourself and your family.

1️⃣ Good Hand Hygiene: This is one of the most important and simple ways to prevent catching an infection.

2️⃣ Consider Vaccines: The pneumonia vaccine is often indicated if you are in a certain age group or have other health conditions like respiratory or cardiac illnesses.

Your lung health is my priority.

This Cancer Awareness Month, Prof. Dr. Syed Arshad Husain shares a direct and urgent message. Smoking is one of the most significant risk factors for lung cancer and other chronic respiratory conditions.

If you smoke, please consider stopping. If a loved one smokes, share this message. It's a vital piece of advice for you and your family, for a better, healthier future.

As a specialist in respiratory medicine, Dr. Husain is committed to helping patients manage smoking-related diseases and improve their quality of life.

For my patients, prevention is key.
Infections are a major trigger, so I always advise two things:

Key Vaccines: Stay up to date with the annual flu jab and the pneumonia vaccine. They provide a good, strong layer of protection.
Good Hand Hygiene: This is a simple, effective technique to prevent infections from coming in and to build better immunity.

If you need help managing your or your child's asthma, I am happy to consult with you.

Asthma triggers are not the same everywhere.
When I worked in the UK, most patients struggled during spring because of high pollen levels in the air.
Here in Dubai, it’s usually the dust — both from outdoor dust storms and indoor dust mites.
Simple precautions can make a real difference:
Wash bed linens at high temperature (around 54°C)
Let someone else change the bedding
Avoid dusting or vacuuming yourself
These steps can help reduce asthma flare-ups and make breathing easier every day.

2️⃣ ضع فمك على المباعد
3️⃣ اضغط على البخاخ للأسفل
4️⃣ خذ نفساً عميقاً وبطيئاً
5️⃣ احبس نفسك لمدة 10 ثوانٍ — لتصل جزيئات الدواء إلى أعماق الرئتين 🫁
