Common questions
What does a pulmonologist treat?
A pulmonologist (chest specialist) diagnoses and treats conditions of the lungs and airways — including asthma, COPD, persistent cough, breathlessness, lung infections such as pneumonia and TB, sleep apnea, and lung cancer.
When should I see a pulmonologist?
Consider a consultation if you have a cough lasting more than three weeks, ongoing breathlessness or wheeze, repeated chest infections, loud snoring with daytime tiredness, or an abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan.
What is interventional pulmonology?
Interventional pulmonology uses minimally invasive, scope-based techniques — such as bronchoscopy and EBUS-TBNA — to diagnose and treat airway and lung conditions without open surgery.
Take the first step towards better breathing.
