Pulmonologist Examination

A pulmonologist is a specialist in diseases of the respiratory tract, lungs, and bronchi.

A pulmonologist examination is recommended for people who have a cough, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or frequent respiratory infections.

At Medical Time, we perform a detailed specialist examination without waiting and without a referral.

The pulmonary examination includes a conversation with the patient, lung auscultation, saturation measurement, and an analysis of previous findings.

Based on the symptoms, the doctor may recommend additional tests – lung X-ray, spirometry, lab work, and allergy tests.

The examination lasts about 30 minutes and includes all necessary diagnostic steps.

It is also suitable for the control of chronic diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, and COPD.

A pulmonologist examination is also important for persistent coughs that last longer than 2-3 weeks.

Our examinations are performed by an experienced specialist with modern diagnostic equipment.

Schedule an examination at Medical Time and ensure the health of your lungs.

Symptoms for which you should visit a pulmonologist

A prolonged cough lasting longer than three weeks can be a sign of a chronic illness.

Difficulty breathing, a feeling of suffocation, or pressure in the chest can indicate a serious lung problem.

Frequent pneumonia or bronchitis requires additional pulmonary workup.

The presence of blood in sputum is a sign for an urgent examination by a pulmonologist.

Nocturnal suffocation, chronic fatigue, and wheezing in the chest often accompany asthma and COPD.

If you are a long-term smoker, a pulmonologist examination is recommended even without symptoms.

If you have allergies that cause a cough or wheezing in your chest, a pulmonologist can help.

Chest pain that is not of cardiac origin often comes from the respiratory tract.

A pulmonologist can recognize and diagnose based on the early signs of a disease.

What does a pulmonologist examination look like?

The examination begins with a detailed anamnesis (medical history) and symptom analysis.

This is followed by lung auscultation with a stethoscope – an assessment of sounds and airflow.

Blood oxygen saturation is measured with a pulse oximeter.

The doctor analyzes previous findings if the patient has them (X-ray, CT, spirometry).

If necessary, additional analyses and diagnostics are recommended.

The patient receives clear recommendations for therapy or further steps in diagnosis.

The pulmonologist may suggest inhalation therapy, antibiotics, corticosteroids, or antihistamines.

The examination lasts about 30 minutes and is performed in a pleasant, air-conditioned space.

The examination is painless.

After the examination, the patient can start therapy immediately or schedule additional tests.

Spirometry – Basic Pulmonary Diagnostics

Spirometry is a painless test that measures the capacity and airflow through the lungs.

It is used in the diagnosis of asthma, COPD, bronchitis, and other lung diseases.

The patient blows into a device that measures the amount and speed of exhaled air.

The test takes a few minutes and does not require special preparation.

The pulmonologist analyzes the results immediately and makes a diagnosis or recommendations.

Spirometry is often used to monitor the course of therapy and the effects of medications.

At Medical Time, modern digital equipment with precise readings is used.

The test can be combined with bronchodilators to assess the response to therapy.

Results are available immediately after the test and explained to the patient on the spot.

Spirometry is an integral part of an examination when there is suspicion of asthma, allergies, or chronic bronchitis.

Monitoring Chronic Lung Diseases

A pulmonologist is a key physician in monitoring chronic diseases such as asthma, COPD, and pulmonary fibrosis.

Regular check-ups enable disease stabilization and reduce the number of exacerbations.

Therapy is adjusted to seasonal factors, infections, and the patient's individual response.

At Medical Time, we perform complete monitoring – including clinical examination, spirometry, and lab work.

For COPD, monitoring oxygen saturation and the effectiveness of therapy is important.

For asthma, symptom control, the need for medication, and the frequency of attacks are monitored.

The pulmonologist also advises on vaccination against flu and pneumococcus as a preventive measure.

Our doctors also create written control and emergency action plans for chronic patients.

Patients receive clear instructions on how to use inhalers and other aids.

Continuous monitoring reduces hospitalizations and improves the quality of life.

The Connection Between Allergies and Pulmonary Problems

Allergic reactions often cause breathing problems – asthma, cough, and bronchospasm.

A pulmonary examination can identify the link between allergens and pulmonary symptoms.

At Medical Time, we perform allergological tests as part of the pulmonary assessment.

Inhaled allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and mold are common causes of breathing problems.

The pulmonologist may recommend antihistamines, immunotherapy, or a change in lifestyle habits.

In children, asthmatic episodes are often associated with seasonal allergies.

Our doctors explain in detail to the patient how to avoid known triggers.

Allergic bronchitis and asthma require a multidisciplinary approach – an allergist and a pulmonologist.

Proper therapy significantly reduces the frequency of attacks and improves the quality of life.

At Medical Time, you get a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary allergies.
