What does a pulmonologist treat?

When should I see a pulmonologist?
See a pulmonologist if symptoms in their area are persistent, getting worse or affecting daily life, or if your family doctor recommends it. For sudden severe symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting or heavy bleeding, call 108 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Do I need a referral to see a pulmonologist?
