When do you need to visit a Pulmonologist?

A pulmonologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of lung and respiratory conditions.

• You may need to visit a pulmonologist if you have symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, or wheezing, or if you have a history of lung disease or have been exposed to lung irritants.
• Additionally, your primary care physician may refer you to a pulmonologist if they suspect you have a lung condition that requires specialist care.
