Your Questions Answered

Real Talk from Altor's Lung Experts

Understanding your lung health is a huge step towards feeling better and living a more active life. Here are clear, straightforward answers from our expert team at Altor to common questions about Pulmonology.

What exactly does a Pulmonologist do?

A Pulmonologist is a doctor who specializes only in your lungs and everything related to breathing. They're experts at diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions like asthma, COPD, pneumonia, and sleep apnea. If you have a persistent cough or trouble breathing, they're the ones to see!

Why should I see a Pulmonologist for my asthma or COPD?

While your family doctor can help, a Pulmonologist has deep, specialized knowledge in managing these chronic lung conditions. They can fine-tune your medications, teach you advanced breathing techniques, and help you create a personalized plan to control your symptoms much more effectively, improving your daily life and preventing flare-ups.

What is a "lung function test" (Spirometry)? Is it complicated?

It's a simple, non-invasive test where you breathe into a machine. It measures how much air your lungs can hold and how fast you can blow it out. It's incredibly helpful for diagnosing conditions like asthma and COPD, and it's not complicated at all – our team will guide you through every step!

I snore loudly and feel tired all the time. Could it be a lung problem?

It could be a sleep-related breathing disorder like Sleep Apnea. This is a common condition where your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Our Pulmonologists can diagnose this with a sleep study and recommend treatments like CPAP therapy to help you get restful, healthy sleep and wake up refreshed.

Can you help me quit smoking?

Absolutely! Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for your lung health. Our Pulmonology team provides comprehensive support, including personalized counseling, medication options, and strategies to help you overcome nicotine addiction and protect your lungs from further damage. We're here to help you succeed!
