However, diseases of many other organs may be paired with respiratory disorders.

In what cases should we seek the medical advice of a pulmonologist?

• Prolonged coughing, sputum production

• Chest pain (not sudden)
• Hoarseness

Basic examinations available at our clinic:

• Examination of respiratory function (spirometry): With the help of this test, the function of the lungs can be assessed. From the results obtained during the test, our pulmonologist can measure the volume of the lung and the dilation or constriction of the respiratory tract. This test detects most of respiratory diseases before serious symptoms develop. It also examines the progress of a disease and the efficiency of treatment.
• Chest X-rays: provide information on the position of the thoracic organs in relation to each other, the condition of the lungs, the larger blood vessels, the bony chest and the heart.
