Pulmonology

Pulmonology is a branch of medicine dealing with the prevention, diagnostics, and treatment of lung diseases.

What does a pulmonologist do?

A pulmonologist, or a specialist in lung diseases, deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of various origins that can affect this organ.

The diseases that are most commonly treated by lung specialists are:

Asthma
Chronic obstructive airways disease
Cystic fibrosis
Sarcoidosis
Pulmonary tuberculosis
Lung cancer
Pneumonia and bronchitis with various etiology (bacterial, viral, fungal)
Pneumothorax
Syndrome of sleep-disordered breathing

At the Melita Medical Center, you can take advantage of the advice of an experienced lung disease specialist, both in terms of functional and oncological ailments, as well as complications after COVID-19 infection (so-called post-COVID complications).

You should make an appointment with a lung specialist if you experience one or more of the following conditions:

Deterioration of respiratory function (shallow breathing, feeling of shortness of breath)
Increased fatigue (not related only to physical activity)
Prolonged cough
Chest pain
Sensation of palpitations
Prolonged fatigue, deterioration of muscle strength
Prolonged loss of sense of smell and taste
Impaired mental performance, concentration disorders, brain fog ("brain fog")

Our specialist will help you determine further diagnostic procedures, order appropriate tests, indicate which other specialists should you visit (if necessary), and implement the appropriate form of treatment, if possible and necessary.

How to prepare for the first visit?

Before you visit a lung disease specialist for the first time, it is a good idea to complete the full medical documentation on the problem that requires consultation and results of the current laboratory testing, if held by the patient.

If you have ever had screening tests (X-rays, tomography, MRI) performed, it is worth taking their results with you so that our specialist can refer to them.

Since the Melita Medical Center is a private facility, you can arrange a visit without having a referral to a pulmonologist.
