Frequently Asked Questions
No, not really. A referral is for a specialist assessment to identify the source of your respiratory issues. Many respiratory diseases are curable, and early diagnosis is important for effective care. The referral provides an opportunity for a full evaluation.
Your pulmonologist will give you precise instructions. Bring a list of your symptoms, when they started and what causes them; a comprehensive list of your medications; and any relevant test findings. You may be asked to stop some medicines before pulmonary function testing.
The timing depends on what kind of test it is. Some of the results, such as pulmonary function tests, may be addressed at your session. More difficult testing (such as biopsies or cultures) may take a few days. Your pulmonologist will keep you posted.
How often you get followed up depends on your health and treatment strategy. Some patients may require regular reviews every few months to evaluate disease progression and medication efficacy, while others may require less frequent visits. Your pulmonologist will advise a personalised schedule.
Yeah. We invite you to bring a family member or support person with you to your appointments. They can help you sort through information, ask questions, and provide critical support as you make big decisions about your treatment.
