Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see a pulmonologist?
For persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chronic lung conditions, abnormal lung tests, or if your primary doctor refers you.
What is a pulmonary function test?
Breathing tests measuring how well your lungs work—how much air they hold, how fast you can exhale, and how well oxygen transfers. It's painless and takes about 30-45 minutes.
Can asthma develop in adulthood?
Yes. While often starting in childhood, asthma can develop at any age. Adult-onset asthma requires proper evaluation.
Is COPD reversible?
Lung damage from COPD isn't reversible, but symptoms can be improved and progression slowed with proper treatment and smoking cessation.
How does smoking affect the lungs?
Smoking damages airways and lung tissue, causing COPD, increasing cancer risk, worsening asthma, and reducing lung function. Quitting at any age helps.
Can you help with post-COVID breathing problems?
Yes. Our pulmonology services integrate with our Post-COVID Recovery Program to address persistent respiratory symptoms.
