What does a pulmonologist treat?

A pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and treating lung and respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis, and sleep-related breathing disorders.

When should I see a pulmonary specialist?

You should consult a pulmonologist if you experience chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, or recurrent lung infections.

What tests are commonly done in pulmonary medicine?

Common tests include chest X-rays, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), CT scans, bronchoscopy, and sleep studies to assess lung function and detect abnormalities.

Is shortness of breath always a lung problem?

Not always. Shortness of breath can also be caused by heart conditions, anxiety, or anemia, but a pulmonologist can help rule out or confirm lung-related causes.

Can pulmonary diseases be cured?

Some lung conditions are curable, like infections, while others like asthma or COPD are chronic but manageable with proper treatment and lifestyle changes.
