Warning Signs
Symptoms Patients Should Not Ignore
Breathing symptoms often start quietly. Timely evaluation can help identify asthma, infection, lung weakness, allergy triggers, or chronic respiratory disease before symptoms worsen.
Wheezing
A whistling sound while breathing that may indicate airway narrowing.
Persistent Cough
Cough lasting for weeks, recurring at night, or linked with chest congestion.
Chest Tightness
Pressure, heaviness, or discomfort that appears with breathing difficulty.
Recurrent Chest Infections
Repeated infections, fever, phlegm, or delayed recovery after illness.
Reduced Exercise Capacity
Getting tired sooner than usual or avoiding activity because of breathing strain.
Respiratory Care
Care for Common and Chronic Lung Conditions
Our respiratory medicine team evaluates symptoms, triggers, lung function, infection history, and lifestyle risk factors to guide practical treatment and monitoring.
Asthma
Assessment of wheezing, breathlessness, triggers, and inhaler needs.
COPD
Support for chronic airway disease, smoking-related lung damage, and flare-ups.
Chronic Cough
Evaluation of cough due to allergy, infection, reflux, asthma, or airway disease.
Lung Infections
Care for bronchitis, pneumonia-like symptoms, and recurrent respiratory infections.
Sleep-Related Breathing Concerns
Assessment of snoring, interrupted sleep, and daytime tiredness linked to breathing.
Allergy-Related Respiratory Problems
Guidance for seasonal symptoms, dust sensitivity, breathlessness, and cough triggers.
Pulmonary Diagnostics
Lung Function Testing for Clearer Answers
Accurate respiratory care begins with understanding how well the lungs and airways are working. Pushpanjali Hospital supports respiratory evaluation through pulmonary diagnostics and hospital-based backup when symptoms are urgent.
Spirometry
Measures airflow limitation and supports asthma or COPD assessment.
Pulmonary Function Test
Helps evaluate lung capacity, airway function, and treatment response.
Imaging Support
Hospital imaging support helps investigate infection, chest symptoms, or complications.
ICU Backup
Critical care support is available for severe breathing difficulty or complex illness.

FAQs
Pulmonology Questions Patients Often Ask
Practical answers for patients dealing with breathlessness, chronic cough, asthma, COPD, allergy symptoms, or recurring chest infections.
When should I consult a pulmonologist?
Consult a pulmonologist for persistent cough, breathlessness, wheezing, recurrent chest infections, abnormal lung tests, or breathing symptoms that interfere with sleep or daily activity.
Can asthma be controlled long term?
Yes. With correct diagnosis, trigger control, inhaler technique, medicines, and follow-up, many patients achieve good long-term asthma control.
What is spirometry?
Spirometry is a lung function test that measures how much air you can breathe out and how quickly. It helps assess asthma, COPD, and airway narrowing.
Is COPD only caused by smoking?
Smoking is a major risk factor, but pollution, occupational exposure, indoor smoke, repeated infections, and other factors may also contribute to chronic lung disease.
Can allergies cause breathing problems?
Yes. Dust, pollen, seasonal changes, pets, and environmental triggers can worsen cough, wheezing, asthma, and airway irritation in sensitive patients.
When is breathlessness an emergency?
Severe breathlessness, bluish lips, chest pain, confusion, low oxygen, inability to speak full sentences, or sudden worsening of symptoms needs urgent medical care.
