A pulmonologist treats diseases of the lungs and airways: asthma, COPD, chronic cough, sleep apnea and respiratory infections. Persistent breathing problems deserve evaluation rather than waiting for them to pass.
For a cough lasting more than 3–4 weeks, breathlessness on light effort, wheezing, loud snoring with daytime sleepiness, or asthma that isn't well controlled.
Commonly spirometry (a breathing test), a chest X-ray or CT scan, allergy testing, or a sleep study for suspected sleep apnea.
Fees vary by doctor, city and type of visit. There is no single fixed price. Each pulmonologist profile on Doctera shows the consultation fee upfront when the doctor publishes it, so you can compare doctors, see real-time availability and book in person or by video.
