Magnus P. Ekstrom is a pulmonologist based in Bedford Park, Adelaide (SA). He looks after breathing and lung health, especially when symptoms keep coming back or need careful follow up.
In many cases, patients he sees have long-term conditions like asthma, COPD, emphysema, and interstitial lung disease. He also helps with problems related to long-term lung strain, including cor pulmonale, where the heart can be affected by ongoing lung issues.
He also works with people dealing with lung infections and inflammation. That can include empyema, acute interstitial pneumonia, and complications that can follow COVID-19. At times, breathing trouble links with oxygen issues too, such as cerebral hypoxia, which needs prompt and steady care.
Some patients come in with rarer causes of lung disease, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). There are also cases involving farmer’s lung, which is related to breathing in certain dusts over time.
Not everything is strictly “lung” either. Ear barotrauma is sometimes connected to pressure changes, and he can help sort out what’s going on and how to move forward. Other related concerns that may come up include ectopic heartbeat, where doctors may need to consider how breathing and circulation fit together.
