- Discomfort or pain in the chest, which may be exacerbated by breathing deeply or coughing.
- Hemoptysis, or the presence of blood in sputum or phlegm.
- Frequent bouts of pneumonia, bronchitis, or other respiratory infections.

At Trinity hospitals, diagnosing pulmonary conditions involves a comprehensive approach. We begin with a detailed review of your medical history, symptoms, and potential risk factors. A thorough physical examination focuses on your chest and lung areas to identify visible signs of distress or abnormalities. Our diagnostic arsenal includes pulmonary function tests to assess lung function, imaging studies like X-rays and CT scans for detailed lung images, and, when necessary, bronchoscopy for closer examination. Blood tests and arterial blood gas analysis provide insights into oxygen levels and potential infections.
