Why am I short of breath?

Shortness of breath can be linked to lung conditions, heart conditions, allergies, infections, or other health concerns. Evaluation and testing can help identify what's causing your symptoms.

When should I worry about shortness of breath?

Shortness of breath can have many causes, from asthma and COPD to other lung and breathing conditions. If you're experiencing ongoing or recurring shortness of breath, especially if it's affecting your daily activities, exercise, or sleep, a pulmonologist can help identify the cause and recommend treatment options.

Seek emergency medical care or call 911 right away if shortness of breath comes on suddenly, is severe, or occurs with symptoms such as chest pain, bluish lips or fingertips, confusion, dizziness, or difficulty speaking. These may be signs of a serious medical condition that requires immediate attention.

When should I be screened for lung cancer?

Lung cancer screening may be recommended for people with a history of smoking or other risk factors. Early detection can help identify problems before symptoms develop.

When should I see a pulmonologist?

You may benefit from seeing a pulmonologist if you have ongoing breathing problems, a chronic cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, or lung-related symptoms that aren't improving with treatment.

What can I expect at my first pulmonology appointment?

Your pulmonologist will review your symptoms, medical history, and any previous testing. Additional testing may be recommended to help diagnose your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.

What's the difference between asthma and COPD?

Asthma and COPD both affect breathing, but they are different conditions. Asthma often causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, while COPD is a long-term disease that can make it harder for air to move in and out of the lungs. A pulmonologist can help determine which condition may be affecting you.

What does a pulmonologist treat?

A pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the lungs and breathing. This includes asthma, COPD, chronic cough, shortness of breath, lung nodules, and other respiratory conditions. Pulmonary conditions can also be related to other medical conditions, such as heart disease, allergies, infections, or autoimmune disorders. If breathing problems are affecting your daily life, a pulmonology evaluation may help identify the cause and treatment options.

Can allergies cause breathing problems?

Yes. Allergies can contribute to coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and asthma symptoms. Environmental allergens and poor air quality may also worsen existing lung conditions or reveal underlying respiratory issues. If breathing problems are affecting your daily life, a pulmonology evaluation can help determine the cause and identify appropriate treatment options.

Do I need a referral to see a pulmonologist?

Referral requirements vary by insurance plan. Contact your primary care provider or our clinic to learn whether a referral is needed and to discuss scheduling an appointment with one of our pulmonology specialists.
