Who is a pulmonologist?
Pulmonologists (پھیپھڑوں کا ڈاکٹر) are medical specialists who deal with the disorders of the lungs, other organs of the respiratory tract and the chest.
The respiratory tract starts from the nose to the larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs, and air sacs. It is responsible for the inhalation of oxygen and the exchange of gases at the level of small air sacs in the lungs. This oxygen is then carried by the blood to the organs of the body for nourishment and energy.
Any disorder which impacts the respiratory tract impedes the delivery of oxygen and the patient feels breathless and lethargic.
