What You Should Know About Lung Disease

What You Should Know About Lung Disease

(presented by Dr. Davidicus Wong)

7 to 8:30 pm Thursday, March 9th, 2023

In my next free online public health talk in the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s Empowering Patients program, I’ll be sharing what you need to know about lung and respiratory disease.

  • What you should know about the symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema and how to manage them
  • What is the difference between bronchitis and pneumonia, and do you need a pneumonia vaccine?
  • Are you at risk for lung cancer and should you be screened?
  • Do you nod off during the day after meals, during boring meetings, riding in a car or bus, or sitting on the couch? How to tell if you have sleep apnea
