About Respire
One Clinic.Three Specialists.Connected Breathing Care.
Respire combines Pulmonology, ENT and Sleep Medicine in one centre so you don't have to bounce between different hospitals and departments. This is integrated care that actually works.
Why We Started Respire
We kept seeing the same story. A patient with asthma, sinusitis and snoring would visit a chest physician for the cough, an ENT for the blocked nose, and maybe a sleep lab for the snoring. Each doctor would order their own tests, write their own prescriptions, and send the patient on their way. Nobody was connecting the dots. The patient would collect a folder full of reports but never get a joined-up diagnosis.
Dr Kunal (Pulmonology, Interventional Pulmonology, Critical Care and Sleep) and Dr Jyotika (ENT and Sleep Surgery) saw this pattern repeat for years. Patients weren't getting better because nobody was treating the whole airway. Sinusitis was worsening the asthma. Allergies were causing the post-nasal drip. The blocked nose was fragmenting sleep. But each specialist only saw their piece.
That's why we built Respire: an integrated breathing clinic where lungs, nose and sleep are treated together by a team that actually talks to each other. One clinic. One team. One plan for your airway.

Young, high-volume experts who focus exclusively on breathing and sleep.
Dr. Kunal Waghray
Interventional Pulmonologist & Bronchoscopy Specialist
Dr Kunal is one of the few interventional bronchoscopists in Hyderabad, with 1,000+ bronchoscopies and 300+ EBUS procedures for lung nodules and lymph nodes. He specializes in advanced techniques including cryotherapy, tumor debulking, and airway stenting.
Special interests: Advanced interventional bronchoscopy (EBUS, cryotherapy), chronic cough, difficult asthma and COPD, lung nodule evaluation, and sleep apnea in medically complex patients.

Dr. Jyotika Waghray
ENT Surgeon & Sleep Surgeon
Dr Jyotika has already done hundreds of sinus and nasal surgeries, including septoplasty, FESS and polypectomy. She focuses on breathing-through-the-nose, sinus health, snoring and sleep apnea surgery.
Special interests: Blocked nose and deviated septum, chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps, snoring and sleep apnea surgery, and allergic rhinitis management.
The go-to surgeon for blocked nose, snoring and sinusitis cases.
Our Philosophy
Most clinics look at only one piece: lungs, or nose, or sleep. You get a prescription for that slice and are sent on your way. But breathing problems rarely come in neat compartments. Your blocked nose might be fragmenting your sleep. Your sinusitis might be triggering your asthma. Your reflux might be masquerading as chronic cough.
Respire's philosophy is connected thinking. The same team looks at your breathing, allergies, sinuses and sleep together. We listen first, then use focused tests: spirometry, imaging, nasal endoscopy, home sleep study, only what's needed, not random panels.
Our aim is to fix the underlying pattern. If allergy is driving sinusitis, which is causing post-nasal drip, which is fragmenting your sleep and triggering cough, we treat the whole chain, not just hand out inhalers or nasal sprays forever.
The Problem We Solve
Sinus issues, allergies, lungs and sleep are deeply connected. Sinusitis can worsen asthma. Reflux can mimic chronic cough. Snoring might actually be obstructive sleep apnea. A blocked nose at night fragments your sleep even if you don't realise it. These aren't separate problems; they're parts of one airway.
But patients usually get stuck in a loop: CT scan at one hospital, inhaler from another doctor, sleep study somewhere else. Each specialist sees their piece, writes a prescription, and moves on. Nobody owns the whole story. Nobody connects the dots. You end up with a folder full of reports and still no clear answer.
Respire is the place where one integrated team takes responsibility for connecting these dots. Your sinusitis might be triggering your asthma and your snoring. We figure that out and design a long-term plan that addresses the root, not just each symptom in isolation.
How We Work
A structured approach to understanding and treating your breathing problems.
Listen
We block 30 minutes for a new consultation to go through your full story: symptoms, old reports, lifestyle, work hours, what treatments you've already tried, and what hasn't worked. No rushing through in five minutes.
Diagnose
We use targeted tests only when needed: spirometry for lung function, allergy testing, imaging, nasal endoscopy to look inside your nose and sinuses, home sleep studies for suspected apnea, and bronchoscopy or EBUS for complex lung cases. No random panels or unnecessary scans.
Connect the Dots
Pulmonology, ENT and Sleep specialists discuss tricky cases together. We look at how your nose, lungs and sleep are affecting each other. Is your sinusitis worsening your asthma? Is your blocked nose fragmenting your sleep? We find the connections.
Treat the Root
Treatment is tailored to your specific pattern. It could be medication, procedures like bronchoscopy or EBUS, sinus surgery or septoplasty, CPAP for sleep apnea, weight-loss and lifestyle plans, or sleep surgery when required. We fix the cause, not just suppress symptoms.
Follow Up
We schedule structured reviews: quarterly spirometry for COPD, follow-up after sleep study or surgery, check-ins to see if treatment is working. We don't prescribe and disappear. You're not left on autopilot.
Who We're Best Suited For

Real Stories from Our Patients
What happens when breathing, sinus and sleep problems are finally treated together.
"I had been coughing for two years. Every doctor said my chest X-ray was normal and gave me cough syrup. Dr Kunal did a detailed evaluation and found that my sinusitis was causing post-nasal drip, which was triggering the cough. Once we treated the sinus problem with Dr Jyotika, the cough finally stopped. Nobody had connected those dots before."
Priya M.
Chronic cough, 2 years
"My wife kept complaining about my snoring. I thought it was normal. The home sleep study showed I had moderate sleep apnea and was waking up 25 times an hour without knowing it. No wonder I was tired all day. CPAP took some getting used to, but now I sleep properly and have energy again. Wish I had done this years ago."
Rajesh K.
Sleep apnea and snoring
"I have asthma and was on three inhalers but still getting attacks. Dr Kunal found that I also had allergic rhinitis and my nose was constantly blocked. Once we treated the nasal allergy properly, my asthma control improved dramatically. I'm now down to one inhaler. The integrated approach really made the difference."
Sneha R.
Asthma with allergic rhinitis
"I work in construction and had been having breathing trouble for years. Other doctors just said 'wear a mask' and gave inhalers. Here, they did proper lung function tests, explained exactly what was happening to my lungs, and created a realistic plan. The quarterly follow-ups keep me on track. I finally feel like someone is actually managing my problem."
Mohammed S.
Occupational lung disease
"My septum was deviated and I had polyps blocking both sides of my nose. I couldn't breathe properly at night and was always tired. Dr Jyotika did the surgery and the difference was immediate. I can actually breathe through my nose now. My sleep has improved and even my snoring has reduced. Should have done this much sooner."
Arun P.
Deviated septum with nasal polyps
"I was bouncing between three different hospitals for my COPD, sinus problems and poor sleep. Here, everything is under one roof. They share notes, they talk to each other, and I don't have to repeat my story five times. The 30-minute consultations mean they actually listen. It's how healthcare should work everywhere."
