FAQ's Related to General Physician

A Respiratory Physician specialises in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. They manage both acute and chronic conditions that impact breathing and overall lung health.

Common conditions include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, interstitial lung disease (ILD), pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, chronic cough, lung infections, sarcoidosis, and other respiratory disorders.

Interstitial Lung Disease is a group of disorders that cause inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue, making it difficult for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help slow disease progression and improve quality of life.

You should seek consultation if you experience a persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest discomfort, recurrent respiratory infections, coughing up blood, or unexplained abnormalities on a chest X-ray or CT scan.

A Respiratory Physician may recommend pulmonary function tests, chest X-rays, CT scans, bronchoscopy, blood tests, sputum analysis, sleep studies, or lung biopsies, depending on the suspected condition.
