Pulmonary medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating and managing diseases and conditions of the lungs and respiratory system. Pulmonary specialists, also known as pulmonologists, treat conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia and lung cancer, among others.

Pulmonologists treat a variety of lung and respiratory conditions, including but not limited to:

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
  • Asthma
  • Pulmonary Fibrosis
  • Sleep Apnoea
  • Lung Cancer
  • Pneumonia
  • Tuberculosis
  • Interstitial Lung Disease
If you experience persistent symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest pain or frequent respiratory infections, it may be time to consult a pulmonologist. Additionally, if you have a family history of lung diseases or are a smoker, seeing a pulmonologist can help with early detection and prevention.

Pulmonologists use a variety of diagnostic tests to evaluate lung health, including:

  • Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): To measure how well the lungs are functioning.
  • Chest X-rays/CT scans: To detect abnormal conditions in the lungs.
  • Arterial Blood Gas (ABG): To assess oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.
  • Sputum Test: To check for infections like tuberculosis or pneumonia.
  • Bronchoscopy: A procedure where a tube is inserted into the lungs to examine airways and collect tissue samples.

While both COPD and asthma affect the airways, they are different in nature:

  • Asthma is often triggered by allergens or irritants and involves inflammation and narrowing of the airways, usually reversible with treatment. Symptoms often include wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.
  • COPD, on the other hand, is a progressive and irreversible lung disease typically caused by smoking, characterized by airflow limitation and difficulty breathing.

Managing lung health often involves lifestyle changes such as:

  • Quitting Smoking: Smoking is the leading cause of lung disease, especially COPD and lung cancer.
  • QExercising Regularly: Physical activity helps improve lung capacity and overall health.
  • QAvoiding Environmental Triggers: Reducing exposure to allergens, pollution, and second-hand smoke can help reduce symptoms.
  • QHealthy Diet: Eating nutritious food can strengthen the immune system and support overall lung health.
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program designed to help individuals with chronic lung conditions improve their lung function, increase exercise tolerance and improve overall quality of life. It includes supervised exercise, education on lung disease management and support to help manage symptoms.
Many pulmonary diseases cannot be cured completely, but they can be managed with proper treatment and lifestyle changes. Conditions like asthma, COPD and pneumonia can be controlled with medications and therapies to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Early diagnosis and intervention can prevent further damage to the lungs.

Treatment for pulmonary conditions varies based on the specific disease but may include:

  • Medications: Inhalers, corticosteroids, bronchodilators, and antibiotics.
  • Oxygen Therapy: For individuals with severe lung disease or low oxygen levels in the blood.
  • Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A program to improve lung function.
  • Surgery: In some cases, surgery such as lung transplantation may be necessary for severe cases of lung disease.
Sleep apnoea is a condition in which a person's breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. This condition can lead to low oxygen levels in the blood, which affects overall pulmonary health. Left untreated, sleep apnoea can lead to cardiovascular problems and worsen existing lung conditions like COPD. Treatment often involves the use of a CPAP machine or lifestyle changes.
