Lung Doctor / Lung Specialist

A lung or a lung specialist is known as a pulmonologist. Pulmonologists are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the respiratory system, which includes the lungs and airways. If you have symptoms or concerns related to your lungs, such as difficulty breathing, chronic cough, chest pain, or conditions like asthma, chronic bronchitis, or pneumonia, a pulmonologist is the healthcare professional to consult.

Pulmonologists undergo extensive training in internal medicine and then pursue additional training in pulmonary medicine. They are equipped to perform various diagnostic tests, interpret imaging studies, and develop treatment plans for a wide range of respiratory issues.

If you believe you need to see a lung specialist, it’s advisable to schedule an appointment with your primary care physician first. They can evaluate your symptoms, perform initial tests, and, if necessary, provide a referral to a pulmonologist for further assessment and specialized care. If you are experiencing severe or acute respiratory symptoms, seek immediate medical attention or go to the nearest emergency room.
