Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons—including those responsible for breathing. At Pulmonary Obesity & Sleep Specialists of Houston, we offer specialized pulmonary care for ALS patients to preserve lung function, improve comfort, and enhance quality of life.
As ALS progresses, patients often experience shortness of breath, weakened cough, nocturnal breathing difficulties, and frequent respiratory infections. Respiratory failure is a major cause of complications in ALS, which is why early pulmonary intervention is essential.
We perform regular spirometry, vital capacity testing, and overnight oximetry to monitor breathing function. Non-invasive ventilation (such as BiPAP), cough-assist devices, and airway clearance therapies are part of our comprehensive care for neuromuscular respiratory weakness.
Our team collaborates closely with neurologists, speech therapists, and palliative care specialists to ensure patients receive coordinated, compassionate support. Education is also provided to caregivers on how to assist with respiratory devices and emergency planning.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with ALS, our pulmonary specialists are here to help you navigate this journey with dignity and expert care. Call (281) 652-5864 to learn more about our ALS pulmonary support services.
