Diagnosis

Many people don't notice the signs and symptoms of COPD until it's too late. Because they are "simply getting older," some people believe they are short of breath or less able to carry out their daily duties. Lung disease can cause shortness of breath, which is a common symptom. Spirometry, a simple breathing test, is used to detect COPD. Spirometry is a basic test that determines how well your lung’s function. You blow air through a mouthpiece and tubing connected to a small machine for this test. The machine monitors how much air you can blow and how quickly you can blow it out. Spirometry can detect COPD symptoms before they appear. Your doctor may also use the test results to determine the severity of your COPD and to help you create treatment goals. Symptoms may worsen if they are not treated or managed properly. A pulmonologist is consulted when a patient is suspected of having lung illness and needs a clinical diagnosis. Depending on the results of diagnostic tests, the pulmonologist will collaborate with doctors from different specialities to offer the patient with complete care.
