Frequently Asked Questions

Pulmonology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the lungs and respiratory system.

A pulmonologist is a specialist who diagnoses and manages lung conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and sleep-related breathing disorders.

You should consult a pulmonologist if you experience persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, or frequent respiratory infections.

Common lung conditions include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung fibrosis, bronchitis, and sleep apnea.

Diagnosis may involve chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, and blood tests to assess lung health and function.

Asthma is a chronic lung condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a long-term condition that includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, often caused by smoking or long-term exposure to pollutants.

Yes. Avoid smoking, minimize exposure to air pollution, maintain good hygiene, get vaccinated, and lead a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise.

Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, often leading to snoring, poor sleep quality, and daytime tiredness.

Persistent cough, breathlessness, chest pain, wheezing, coughing up blood, or frequent chest infections may indicate underlying lung problems and need medical attention.

PFTs are simple breathing tests that measure how well your lungs work by assessing airflow, lung volume, and oxygen exchange.

Avoid smoking, practice deep breathing exercises, stay active, eat a balanced diet, and keep your environment clean and well-ventilated.

Not always. It can also be caused by heart problems, anemia, obesity, or anxiety. A pulmonologist can help identify the exact cause.
