A pulmonologist is a doctor with specialized knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of lung disease. The respiratory system, also known as the pulmonary system, is complex and can be affected by other organs. A pulmonary doctor helps in preventing and treating lung disease and breathing problems.
Some of the most common ailments diagnosed and treated by pulmonologist are as follows:
- Pneumonia
- Asthma
- Chronic bronchitis
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Your lungs are the organs that help you in breathing and their health is very important for you to breathe normally. If you are having trouble breathing, coughing, or laughing, it is necessary that you get your lungs and upper respiratory system checked by a pulmonologist near you.
If your lungs are damaged, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Shortness of breath
- Pain when breathing
- Wheezing
- Persistent cough
- Coughing up blood
- Chronic chest pain
- Overproduction of mucus
Here are a few tips that you can opt to take care of your lung’s health:
- Take plenty of fluids
- Deep breathing exercise
- Wash hands regularly
- Breathe through your nose
- Monitor the local air quality
- Wear a mask if you have existing lung problems like Asthma
- Quit smoking
Within just 8 hours of quitting smoking, your body’s oxygen levels will increase and your lung function will begin to improve. As your lungs begin to heal, you may feel less short of breath, cough less and find it easier to breathe in the coming weeks and months after you quit. Your risk of developing cancer also decreases. No matter if you’re a new smoker or have been smoking for years, it’s never too late to quit. Consult a pulmonologist for more information.
The best foods to consume for healthy lungs and improved breathing are:
- Garlic and onions
- Ginger
- Pomegranates
- Turmeric
- Apples
- Salmon
- Nuts
- Flaxseeds
- Oranges
- Dark Leafy Greens
