About Pulmonologist Doctors

Conditions Treated by a Pulmonologist

Asthma

Chronic airway inflammation causing reversible breathing difficulty. Affects 30 million+ Indians.

COPD

Progressive lung damage usually from smoking or biomass fuel exposure, causing permanent breathing difficulty.

Tuberculosis (TB)

Bacterial infection primarily affecting lungs. India has the highest TB burden globally.

Pneumonia

Lung infection causing inflammation and fluid in air sacs.

Sleep Apnoea

Repeated breathing interruptions during sleep, causing poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness.

Lung Health Tips

  • Don't smoke — and quit if you do
  • Wear a mask on high-pollution days
  • Use inhalers correctly — they only work with proper technique
  • Complete full TB treatment — never stop early
  • Exercise improves lung capacity
  • Get vaccinated — pneumonia and flu vaccines save lives

How to Prepare for Your Pulmonologist Visit

Before Your Visit

  • Bring previous chest X-rays, CT scans, and lung function test reports
  • Note triggers for breathing difficulty — exercise, dust, cold air, seasons
  • List all medications including inhalers with their colours and doses
  • If possible, bring your current inhaler to show technique

During the Appointment

  • Describe breathlessness on a scale — can you climb stairs, walk flat ground, or are you breathless at rest?
  • Mention smoking history (pack-years) and passive smoke exposure
  • Discuss cooking fuel used at home — biomass/wood smoke is a major COPD cause in India
  • Ask about air quality measures for your home

After the Visit

  • Use inhalers as prescribed — preventive inhalers need daily use even when feeling well
  • Complete full TB medication course if prescribed — incomplete treatment causes drug resistance
  • Get flu vaccine annually if you have chronic lung disease
  • Monitor peak flow readings at home if advised

Questions to Ask Your Pulmonologist

  1. 1.Am I using my inhaler correctly?
  2. 2.Do I need a lung function test (spirometry)?
  3. 3.Is my breathing problem related to allergies or pollution?
  4. 4.Do I need a sleep study for my snoring?
  5. 5.Should I get the pneumonia or flu vaccine?
  6. 6.Is my lung damage reversible?

When Should You See a Pulmonologist?

A Pulmonologist specializes in lung and respiratory diseases. India has high rates of asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, and pollution-related lung disease.

  • Chronic cough lasting more than 3 weeks
  • Shortness of breath during normal activities
  • Wheezing or noisy breathing
  • Coughing up blood
  • Asthma not controlled with inhalers
  • Recurrent pneumonia or chest infections
  • Sleep apnoea — snoring with daytime sleepiness
  • Chest pain with breathing

Seek emergency care for severe breathlessness at rest, blue lips/fingers, coughing large amounts of blood, or chest pain with difficulty breathing.
