Pulmonology FAQs

Common questions about pulmonology treatment and care.

See a pulmonologist if you have a chronic cough lasting more than 3 weeks, persistent shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain during breathing, or if you suspect sleep apnea.

Asthma is diagnosed through spirometry (lung function test), peak flow measurements, bronchial challenge tests, and review of symptoms and medical history.

While some lung damage is permanent, quitting smoking at any stage improves lung function and reduces further damage. A pulmonologist can help create a recovery plan with medications and pulmonary rehabilitation.
