Pulmonary medicine is a subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the respiratory tract. A pulmonologist has expertise in the evaluation of patients with breathlessness, cough, wheezing, and chest tightness, as well as abnormalities of the chest x-ray, chest CT scan, and other chest imaging studies.
We treat problems related to the airways, lung tissues and the blood vessels of the lungs, among those the most frequents are:
- Asthma
- Emphysema
- Chronic Bronchitis
- Sarcoidosis
- Occupational Lung Disease
- Pneumonia
- Lung Cancer and Tumors

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a multidimensional continuum of services directed to persons with pulmonary disease and their families, usually by an interdisciplinary team of specialists, with the goal of achieving and maintaining the individual’s maximum level of independence and functioning in the community.
Exercises are a very important part of the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, they include specific stretching exercises, regimens on different equipment, and the use of free weights.
Another important tool is patient education, which is directed at issues such as breathing control, medication usage, equipment, anatomy and physiology of lung disease, the benefits of exercise, relationships and intimacy with lung disease, nutrition, support services, managing anxiety and depression, smoking cessation, and tips on self-management of lung disease.
It is a specialty of medicine that is dedicated to diagnosing and treating sleep/wake disorders.
A sleep physician is trained to deal with disorders like Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy, Insomnia, Restless Leg Syndrome, Parasomnias, and Circadian Rhythm Disorders, and others.
When normal sleep patterns are disrupted for an extended period of time, a person is said to have a sleep disorder. Symptoms such as fatigue, excessive sleepiness, and mood changes may appear but often the sleep disorder is not diagnosed because symptoms are dismissed as being caused by something else or just getting a bad night’s sleep. Sleep disorders, if left untreated, can give rise to other health problems.
Your doctor will evaluate your symptoms and conduct a complete physical examination. If your doctor suspects that you have a sleep disorder he may suggest a sleep study. A sleep study records body and brain activity either while the patient is asleep or while awake, depending on the type of testing that is being conducted.
It is a potentially serious disorder in which breathing stops several times when sleeping. The main types of sleep apnea are:
Obstructive sleep apnea, very common, that happens when the muscles of the upper airways get too relaxed causing obstruction, which is initially manifested by snoring. Central sleep apnea, less common, the brain is not sending signals to the respiratory muscle to initiate the breathing.
- Loud snoring
- Episodes in which you stop breathing during sleep — which would be reported by another person
- Gasping for air during sleep
- Awakening with a dry mouth
- Morning headache
- Difficulty staying asleep (insomnia)
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (hypersomnia)
- Difficulty paying attention while awake
- Irritability
