FAQs
If you're experiencing persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or frequent respiratory infections, it's advisable to consult a pulmonologist.
Bronchoscopy is generally well-tolerated and performed under local anesthesia or sedation, making it minimally uncomfortable.
A sleep study helps diagnose disorders like sleep apnea. It records brain waves, oxygen levels, heart rate, and breathing patterns during sleep.
While many lung diseases can be effectively managed, the potential for cure depends on the condition. Early diagnosis and adherence to treatment greatly improve outcomes.
