Pulmonology is a branch of medicine that deals with the entire respiratory system, including the lungs and bronchial tubes. In these times and days of chronic viral conditions, lung diseases need expert care for swift treatment and to save lives. Lungs are vital organs in the human body, and while certain infections cause mild irritation, other pulmonary conditions can obstruct the airflow and lead to significant complications.
Respiratory conditions are grouped either as obstructive or restrictive diseases. While the first condition lowers the airflow rate during inhalation and exhalation, the latter reduces the lung's functional volume. Whether it is the common cold or chronic pulmonary disease, all you need is an expert pulmonologist's consultation to breathe easily.

Sleep apnea is a severe disorder where breathing stops and starts repeatedly. Men are more prone to sleep apnea which is common in obese people. Talk to your pulmonologist if you are snoring loudly but feeling very tired even after catching up with a good nap at night.
Sleep apnea is of three types: Obstructive Sleep Apnea Central Sleep Apnea Complex Sleep Apnea Syndrome Sleep apnea is diagnosed with the help of Nocturnal polysomnography, a device that monitors the activity of the lungs, brain, and heart, breathing patterns, and oxygen levels in the blood while sleeping. Your doctor would prescribe the treatment based on the reading. Lifestyle changes, medication, and therapies would help. Surgery is recommended in rare cases to remove tissue, tonsils, and adenoids, place implants, or reposition jaws to alleviate the problem.
