FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing questions about lung health, breathing issues, and respiratory care provided by our Pulmonology specialists.

What conditions does the Pulmonology Department treat?

SDDM Hospital treats asthma, chronic bronchitis, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung infections, interstitial lung diseases, and sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea using evidence-based respiratory care protocols for optimal patient outcomes.

When should I see a pulmonologist?

If you have persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, or frequent respiratory infections, it’s a good idea to consult SDDM Hospital’s pulmonologist for further evaluation. Our Jammu facility provides comprehensive respiratory assessments.

What tests are done to diagnose lung problems?

Common tests at SDDM Hospital include chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests (PFTs), bronchoscopy, and sleep studies. These help assess lung capacity, structure, and function for personalized treatment planning throughout J&K.

Is asthma the same as COPD?

No. While both affect breathing, asthma is usually reversible and may start in childhood, while COPD is often linked to smoking and leads to progressive lung damage.

Can lung diseases be managed without hospitalization?

Yes, many conditions like asthma and mild COPD can be managed with inhalers, medications, and lifestyle changes. Hospital care is only needed for severe or uncontrolled symptoms.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Bring previous chest scans, breathing test reports, a list of symptoms, medications, and any history of smoking or allergies. This helps in planning the best course of treatment with comprehensive care coordination.
