Pulmonology is a medical field of study within internal medicine that deals with the study and treatment of disorders of the respiratory system.
A pulmonologist is a physician who specializes in the respiratory system. From the windpipe to the lungs, if your complaint involves the lungs or any part of the respiratory system, a pulmonologist is the doctor you would want to solve the problem. Because many lung and heart conditions present similar symptoms, and pulmonologists often work with cardiologists while diagnosing patients.
When to visit a Pulmonologist?
A simple cough associated with allergies or a cold shouldn`t send you looking for a pulmonary specialist. Your primary care doctor or a general physician should be your first stop, and then on to an allergist or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. You should see a pulmonologist if that cough persists for more than 3 weeks, or if it becomes severe. This should be done in consultation with your primary care doctor.
If you have below symptoms that can be related to a lung condition, you may book an appointment with our pulmonologist to help you diagnose and treat the condition:
Chest pain or tightness
Dizziness, light-headedness or fainting
Difficulty breathing, especially during exercise
Fatigue
Wheezing
Recurring or chronic bronchitis or colds that impact your respiratory system
Asthma that isn't well-controlled, or has unidentified triggers
