Respiratory disease refers to chest conditions such as asthma, allergy, bronchitis, COPD, lung cancer, lung fibrosis as well as conditions such as allergy and sleep and breathing problems. Respiratory doctors often deal with symptoms such as breathlessness, cough, chest infections, and allergies. Many people who snore or stop breathing at night are also seen by respiratory doctors.
Respiratory medicine has a broad range of conditions and many types of tests are used to understand and diagnose these conditions such as breathing tests, x-rays and CT scans and camera tests in the lungs. These and other tests are available at The Beacon Consultants Clinic.
