Q: When should patient see a pulmonologist?
A: If a cough lasts more than 8 weeks, there is unexplained shortness of breath or wheeze, frequent chest infections, suspected sleep apnea (loud snoring, daytime sleepiness), reduced exercise tolerance, oxygen level concerns, or existing asthma/COPD that isn’t well controlled despite treatment. Early referral is also advised after severe pneumonia or COVID-19 with lingering respiratory symptoms.
