Consultation with a pulmonologist

The following pneumonologist consultations are provided at the clinic:

Consult a pulmonologist to confirm the diagnosis and develop a treatment plan
If you have consulted a specialist (family doctor, cardiologist, etc.) with observations of health problems and complaints, you have been examined and advised to consult a pulmonologist because you suspect a disease of the respiratory system.

Respiratory patient monitoring and dynamic surveillance
If you have been hospitalised with a respiratory problem and need further follow-up by a pulmonologist after discharge from hospital. If you have recurrent bronchitis or pneumonia within one year, this requires regular monitoring, including assessment and adjustment of drug therapy.

Second opinion
If you have a diagnosis and a treatment plan but need further specialist advice (second opinion). Most often, if the diagnosis has been made and a treatment plan has been drawn up by your GP and you want to check the diagnosis or the treatment you have chosen.

Preventive check-up by a pulmonologist
If you are experiencing health problems that may be related to respiratory diseases, or if your lifestyle, such as long-term smoking, requires a consultation with a pulmonologist to identify possible respiratory diseases early and start appropriate preventive measures or treatment. A preventive pneumonologist consultation is recommended if any of the above health problems are observed (note that the symptoms listed may also be indicative of diseases of other organ systems, so it is advisable to consult your family doctor beforehand):

• sudden attacks of breathlessness or regular episodes of breathlessness for no apparent reason;
• distressing coughing fits or repeated wheezing episodes (for more than three years);
• coughing for more than three weeks or blood in the sputum;
• prolonged temperature, sweating;
• recurrent bronchitis (more than three times) or recurrent pneumonia within one year;
• shortness of breath during exercise;
• chest pain with any of the above symptoms;
• underweight or stunted growth with frequent respiratory illnesses.

Take care of your health early and don’t wait until shortness of breath, a painful coughing attack or other respiratory problems delay your planned routine!

Make an appointment with a pulmonologist for a preventive check-up or early diagnosis of a respiratory problem, and get recommendations or a treatment plan to help you breathe fully!
