Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does the Chest & Pulmonology department treat?
We diagnose and manage asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, pneumonia, chronic cough, sleep apnea, and a wide range of other respiratory disorders.
What is a Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and why is it needed?
A Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) measures how well your lungs function by assessing airflow, lung capacity, and oxygen exchange. It helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as asthma and COPD.
Do you perform Bronchoscopy at the hospital?
Yes. Bronchoscopy is available in-house for detailed examination and evaluation of the airways and lungs.
What is a Sleep Study and who needs it?
A Sleep Study (Polysomnography) monitors breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns overnight. It is recommended for patients with suspected sleep apnea, chronic snoring, or excessive daytime sleepiness.
When should I consult a Chest Physician?
If you experience persistent cough, breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness, recurrent respiratory infections, or sleep-related breathing problems, you should consult a chest physician promptly.
