Polysomnography Specialist in Ahmedabad

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.
