FAQs
When should I consult a pulmonologist?
See a specialist if you experience chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain, loud snoring, daytime fatigue, or unexplained respiratory symptoms.
What tests are commonly done to assess lung health?
Assessment may include chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests, bronchoscopy, sleep studies, and diffusion capacity analysis to evaluate lung function and airway health.
Can asthma or COPD be cured?
These chronic conditions cannot be completely cured, but they can be well-controlled with medications, inhalers, lifestyle management, and regular monitoring to prevent flare-ups.
How does smoking affect lung health?
Smoking damages airways, reduces lung capacity, increases the risk of infections, COPD, and lung cancer. Quitting smoking significantly improves lung function and overall respiratory health.
What are the signs of sleep apnea?
Common indicators include loud snoring, pauses in breathing during sleep, daytime fatigue, and poor concentration. Sleep apnea can be effectively managed with advanced therapies and continuous monitoring.
