A pulmonologist, also called a Respiratory physician, is a doctor who specializes in diagnosis, treatment, and management of lung and respiratory diseases and disorders. They are the doctors who pursue an MBBS degree followed by specialization (MD/DNB) in pulmonology or super specialty (DM/CCT/DNB) in pulmonology. They treat common respiratory conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COVID-19, pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchitis, lung cancer, and cystic fibrosis. They play a major role in the treatment and prevention of respiratory illness and in increasing awareness of lung health. They use various imaging techniques like X-ray, CT-scan, MRI, bronchoscopy, and pulmonary function tests for the diagnosis of the condition and employ techniques like thoracentesis, insertion of ICD, and ultrasound guided procedures for the management of diseases. A patient must consult a pulmonologist when he/she experiences persistent and chronic cough, shortness of breath, asthma attacks, chest pain or tightness, wheezing, and sleep apnea symptoms like snoring.
