Pulmonology

Pulmonology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases of the lungs and airways. Healthy breathing is essential for supplying the body with oxygen, and complaints such as coughing, difficulty breathing, or chest pain often indicate disorders that are important to recognize and treat in a timely manner.

When to visit a pulmonologist?

For chronic or recurring cough

in case of difficulty breathing or shortness of breath at rest or during exertion

If you have frequent or long-term pneumonia or bronchitis

For chest tightness or pain when breathing

If you are a smoker and have breathing problems

To monitor known lung diseases such as asthma, COPD, sarcoidosis or fibrosis
