Dr Pepperell is a Respiratory Physician based in Taunton, Somerset.
He specialises in lung diseases and sleep disorders and provides outpatient investigations and treatment for the full range of lung diseases and sleep problems.
We offer help for problems such as:
- Chronic cough
- Persistent mucus or chest infections
- Breathlessness and shortness of breath
- Chest Pains and tightness
- Wheezing
- Coughing up blood / haemoptysis
- Sleeping problems
- Snoring and sleep apnoea
- Excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue
- Sleepwalking and abnormal behaviours during sleep
- Unusual movements during sleep
- Unusual breathing patterns
Lung and respiratory symptoms can come from any condition that affects the breathing system, sinuses, throat, airways or lungs.
Whilst some people rarely snore there are many who snore every night and some whose snoring causes sleep disturbance by obstructing the breathing during sleep.
Insomnia, which affects most people at some time or other, is not being able to sleep when you want to.
