FAQ

Pulmonary care focuses on the lungs. The lungs are organs that help us breathe. Our lungs play an important role in helping our bodies work. Pulmonologists specialize in lung care.  

Some lung problems limit how much air gets into your body. These problems can involve many areas of the body, such as: 

  • Airways (how air moves in and out of the body) 
  • Cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels)  
  • Lung tissue 
  • Muscular system 
  • Neurological system (brain and nerves)  

The immune system helps the body fight illness. Allergies are caused by too much sensitivity of the immune system. This is called hypersensitivity.  

You can have hypersensitivity to something in the space where you live that doesn’t cause problems for most people. You can be allergic to: 

  • Animals  
  • Dust  
  • Foods 
  • Metals 
  • Pollen 
  • Other substances 
     

Some allergies are seasonal. You may need shots or medicine to help take care of your allergies.  

Our care and services are specific to you and your lung and allergy needs. We can help you with:  

  • Arterial blood gas analysis (ABGs), a special blood test  
  • Asthma  
  • Food and allergy testing, to find out what you’re allergic to  
  • Hay fever (seasonal allergies) 
  • Hypoxemia, a problem with low oxygen in the blood 
  • Long-term coughs
