Pulmonology

Pulmonologists specialise in the lungs and breathing: asthma, COPD, chronic cough, pneumonia follow-up, interstitial lung disease, sleep apnea and smoking-cessation support. Spirometry is often done in clinic to measure lung function.

A cough lasting more than three weeks, breathlessness that limits daily activity or loud snoring with daytime sleepiness are good reasons to book. Severe breathing difficulty is an emergency.
