FAQs — Pulmonologist in Sarjapur Road (Dommasandra), Bengaluru
When should I consult a pulmonologist?
Consult a pulmonologist for persistent cough, recurrent wheezing, breathlessness, low oxygen levels, repeated chest infections, abnormal chest imaging, suspected sleep apnoea or a known lung condition requiring specialist care.
What conditions does a pulmonologist treat?
A pulmonologist evaluates and treats conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis-related lung disease, interstitial lung disease, pleural disorders, sleep-related breathing disorders and respiratory failure.
What tests may be advised for breathing problems?
Depending on the symptoms and examination, evaluation may include pulmonary function tests, chest X-ray or CT, blood tests, oxygen assessment, sleep studies, sputum tests, bronchoscopy or other targeted investigations.
What is bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy uses a thin camera to examine the airways. It may help identify infection, bleeding, obstruction or abnormal tissue and can be used to collect lavage, brushing or biopsy samples.
What is interventional pulmonology?
Interventional pulmonology uses minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and manage complex airway, lung and pleural conditions. Examples include bronchoscopy, EBUS, thoracoscopy, airway stenting and pleural procedures.
What symptoms may suggest sleep apnoea?
Loud snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, choking during sleep, morning headaches, poor concentration and excessive daytime sleepiness may suggest sleep apnoea and warrant clinical evaluation.
When is breathlessness an emergency?
Seek urgent medical care for sudden or severe breathlessness, chest pain, bluish lips, confusion, fainting, coughing up significant blood or rapidly falling oxygen levels.
