Nina Eikelis is a Pulmonologist based in Melbourne, VIC 3122. She looks after people who need help with breathing and lung health, as well as some wider body health issues that can sit alongside breathing problems.
In her work, Nina supports patients dealing with a mix of longer-term conditions. This can include lung-related concerns like cystic fibrosis and silicosis. She also sees people with metabolic and hormone-related health problems, such as metabolic syndrome and obesity, and at times issues connected to ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Some patients also come in because of blood pressure concerns, including hypertension and low blood pressure.
There are also conditions that can affect how the body manages day-to-day energy and circulation. For example, she works with people who have postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and familial dysautonomia. Over time, those conditions can make breathing feel harder or make activity more difficult, so it helps to look at the whole picture, not just one symptom.
For some people, eating and body weight can also be part of the story. Nina treats conditions like anorexia and looks at how that can link in with breathing, recovery, and overall body strength. At times she also helps with abdominal obesity and related metabolic issues, which can affect breathing and stamina.
While the details of her education and clinical trial involvement aren’t listed here, Nina’s approach stays practical and grounded. She focuses on understanding what’s going on for each person, then working out sensible next steps. If you’re trying to make sense of symptoms or you’ve had ongoing health issues for a while, having a clinician who can connect the dots across different systems can make a real difference.
