What is a Respiratory Consultation?

A respiratory consultation is a medical appointment focused on evaluating your lung and breathing health. The specialist will ask about your symptoms, review your medical history, and may perform tests like lung function tests or imaging scans to diagnose any underlying respiratory issues.

What Can I Expect During the Consultation?

During the respiratory consultation, you can expect the following steps:

  1. The doctor will ask about your breathing problems, including when they started and how they affect your daily life.
  2. They will review your medical history, including any conditions like asthma or allergies.
  3. You may undergo tests such as lung function tests or imaging scans to assess your lung health.
  4. The specialist will then provide advice on managing your symptoms and may recommend treatments or lifestyle changes.


This consultation will help the specialist get a better understanding of your breathing concerns and offer solutions to help you feel better.

What are the Risks of the Consultation?
