Pulmonary Medicine Doctor
A pulmonologist is a doctor who specializes in respiratory diseases. From the windpipe to the lungs, a pulmonologist is the doctor to see if your problem is with the lungs or any other portion of the respiratory system. While the respiratory system is a specialty in and of itself, pulmonologists might further specialize. Some of these specialists specialize in certain diseases, such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and COPD, while others handle specific populations, such as pediatric or geriatric patients. Because many lung and cardiac disorders have symptoms that are similar, pulmonologists frequently collaborate with cardiologists when diagnosing patients. They are also commonly seen in hospital settings. A pulmonologist will be in charge of patients who require life support or manual breathing in order to breathe. A pulmonologist helps patients who have serious or chronic breathing issues. While primary care physicians can treat minor or short-term ailments such as a cold or respiratory infection, you’ll need to see a pulmonologist to diagnose, treat, and manage more severe disorders affecting the lungs.
