Common Pulmonology Diseases We Treat
Our pulmonologists are experienced in managing numerous respiratory conditions. The most common ones include:
- Asthma: A chronic disease that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to wheezing, shortness of breath, and coughing.
- COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease): A progressive lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe, often caused by long-term smoking. It includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
- Pneumonia: An infection that inflames the air sacs (alveoli) in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid.
- Tuberculosis (TB): A serious infectious disease that mainly affects the lungs.
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD): A group of disorders that cause progressive scarring of lung tissue.
- Sleep Apnea: A serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
You should see a pulmonologist if your respiratory symptoms are chronic (long-lasting), severe, or if your general physician recommends a specialist for a more detailed diagnosis and treatment plan.
A PFT is a non-invasive breathing test that measures lung capacity, volume, and airflow. It involves breathing into a mouthpiece. The test is not painful but requires your full effort to get accurate results.
While there is no cure for chronic conditions like COPD and asthma, they are highly manageable. With the right treatment and lifestyle changes, patients can control their symptoms and lead active, healthy lives.
The most common causes include smoking, air pollution, occupational exposure to dust and chemicals, infections, and genetics.
We offer a complete range of services, from diagnostic tests like PFTs and bronchoscopy to treatments including medication, oxygen therapy, and pulmonary rehabilitation programs.
