Work with the best pulmonologist in Dubai

Your assigned doctor will oversee all your care, from initial diagnosis right through discharge and follow-up appointments, giving you the continuity of care and reassurance, you need.

What is pulmonology?

Pulmonology is the study and treatment of the respiratory system and all conditions which might affect it. This includes the lungs, airways, and pleura, which is the skin of the chest wall and lungs. Our respiratory systems can be quite fragile and may be affected by a number of short- and long-term conditions which can severely impact day-to-day living.

A pulmonologist will be able to diagnose any conditions you may have and work out the best course of treatment, and we can see you’re treated by the best pulmonologist in Dubai who specialises in your condition.

What sort of conditions affect the lungs?

If you’re having trouble breathing or have an ongoing cough, chances are you have a problem with your respiratory system and need to see a pulmonologist. Among the many conditions a lung specialist can treat are:

• Aspergillosis – a fungal infection that can spread to other organs and is often an allergic reaction to spores
• Asthma – where the airways narrow and you may experience breathing difficulties
• Bronchitis – often a nagging cough caused by mucus obstructing the airways
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) – a range of progressive and often irreversible lung diseases, which can be managed with the correct treatment
• Cystic Fibrosis – an inherited condition that causes a build-up of mucus in the lungs
• Emphysema – a lung disease usually caused by smoking, leading to shortness of breath and coughing
• Lung cancer – one of the most common forms of cancer, affecting smokers and non-smokers alike
• Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) – high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, often causing shortness of breath
• Sarcoidosis – a condition that causes lumps to form on your lungs, usually leading to a cough and shortness of breath
• Sleep apnoea – a disorder that means you intermittently stop breathing as you sleep, which can progress to longer-term complications if left untreated

All of these conditions can be treated and managed by a pulmonology doctor, and we have an expert team on hand to help with your condition.

When should I see a pulmonologist?

Many of us delay seeing a doctor when we need one, but if you have any of the following symptoms, you really should book an appointment and get them checked out:

• A persistent cough that won’t go away despite treatment
• Trouble breathing, especially after exercise but also when at rest
• Chest pain or tightness
• Coughing up blood
• Breathing problems when you sleep, including snoring or wheezing
• A high fever accompanied by chest discomfort

If you are a smoker and need help quitting, a pulmonologist will also be able to help.
