Who is A Pulmonologist?

Your primary care physician could advise you to see a pulmonologist if you have a persistent cough or breathing problems. This specialist is an authority on identifying and managing lung-related illnesses. This is crucial, especially if long-term care of the illness is possible. 

A physician who focuses on diseases of the lungs is called a pulmonologist. A pulmonologist treats and diagnoses respiratory illnesses. These medical professionals may be referred to as chest doctors, lung specialists, or lung doctors. Your respiratory system, in addition to your lungs, consists of your nose, throat, trachea, airways, muscles, and blood vessels. 

A pulmonologist is a physician who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the respiratory system, including the lungs and other breathing-related organs.

You might be able to receive all the care you require from your normal doctor for some relatively brief respiratory diseases like the flu or pneumonia. You might need to consult a pulmonologist if your cough, shortness of breath, or other symptoms don't go away. 

 

What conditions do pulmonologists treat?

Specifically the lungs, pulmonologists address diseases of the respiratory system. Inflammation, tissue expansion, and infections are a few possible causes of these diseases. Many of these conditions would need lifetime, or even protracted, treatment regimens. Your primary care physician, your pulmonologist, and possibly other experts will collaborate on your treatment options.

 

Some illnesses treated or managed by pulmonologists include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Aspergillosis
  • Asthma.
  • Bronchiectasis.
  • Bronchitis.
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
