Dr. Feyza Arslan Reviews

A 28-year-old competitive freediver from Antalya presented with paradoxical chest pain during deep dives. Dr. Arslan discovered a rare form of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction triggered specifically by rapid pressure changes, not exertion. Treatment involved a customized pre-dive inhaler regimen and breath-hold technique modifications, allowing the athlete to return to competition within six weeks.

A 72-year-old retired calligraphy master with severe COPD lived in a historic wooden house in Sultanahmet. His condition worsened despite standard treatment. Dr. Arslan identified fungal spore hypersensitivity from aging timber in his home workshop. Coordinating with his grandson, they implemented air filtration and moisture control alongside adjusted medication, improving his lung function by 40% in three months.

A 19-year-old university student from a low-income family developed persistent cough after taking a job at a recycled textile sorting facility. Dr. Arslan diagnosed early-stage hypersensitivity pneumonitis from organic dust exposure. She arranged temporary housing through a hospital social program while advocating for workplace safety improvements, achieving full recovery without advanced fibrosis.

A 45-year-old Syrian refugee and former mosaic artist presented with worsening asthma. Dr. Arslan recognized the trigger wasn't allergens but psychological trauma manifesting as vocal cord dysfunction mimicking asthma attacks. Through collaboration with a hospital psychologist and breathing retraining therapy in her native Arabic, the patient's emergency visits reduced by 90%.
