A chest physician, also known as a pulmonologist or respiratory medicine specialist, is a medical doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and chest. Chest physicians are trained to diagnose and manage a wide range of respiratory conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, and sleep disorders (such as sleep apnea). They play a crucial role in providing comprehensive care for patients with respiratory diseases, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
