Here are 5 situations when a patient should visit a chest specialist (pulmonologist):

1. Chronic Cough – If you have a persistent cough lasting more than 3 weeks, especially with no clear cause, a pulmonologist can diagnose the underlying issue.
2. Breathing Difficulties – For unexplained shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, a chest specialist can assess lung function and provide treatment.
3. Asthma or COPD – When diagnosed with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), regular visits to a pulmonologist are important for proper management.
4. Frequent Lung Infections – If you experience recurrent lung infections like pneumonia or bronchitis, a pulmonologist can help identify the cause and recommend preventive measures.
5. Sleep Apnea – For symptoms like snoring, pauses in breathing during sleep, or excessive daytime fatigue, a pulmonologist can evaluate and treat sleep-related breathing disorders.
