Respiratory (Pulmonary) Check-Up: Breathe Easier, Live Healthier

Your lungs fuel your body with life-sustaining oxygen. Yet, many respiratory conditions—from chronic bronchitis to lung cancer—develop quietly and only show symptoms in advanced stages. A comprehensive pulmonary check-up is essential for detecting issues early, preserving your lung function, and improving your overall quality of life.

Whether you’re experiencing symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath, or chest tightness—or simply want to monitor your respiratory health—this screening offers clarity and peace of mind.

What Is a Pulmonary Check-Up?

A pulmonary (or respiratory) check-up is a full evaluation of your lungs and respiratory system. It’s performed by a pulmonologist—an expert in diagnosing and treating diseases that affect breathing and lung function.

This check-up assesses how well your lungs are working, identifies any signs of chronic or acute respiratory illness, and helps you take preventive action against conditions like asthma, COPD, pneumonia, or lung cancer.

What’s Included in a Pulmonary Check-Up?

Medical & Lifestyle History

• Review of respiratory symptoms (shortness of breath, wheezing, cough, chest pain)

• Smoking history and environmental exposures (e.g., pollution, asbestos)

• Evaluation of previous respiratory illnesses, allergies, and family history

Physical Examination

• Listening to lung sounds via stethoscope to detect wheezing, crackles, or reduced airflow

• Observation of breathing patterns and oxygen levels

Lung Function Tests (Spirometry)

• Measures how much air you can inhale and exhale and how quickly

• Detects airway obstruction, common in asthma and chronic bronchitis

• Vital for monitoring chronic conditions like COPD

Chest Imaging

• Chest X-ray: Helps visualize lung structure, detect infections, tumors, or scarring

• CT Scan: Offers detailed images for early detection of lung nodules or cancer

Oxygen Saturation & Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Tests

• Measures the oxygen level in your blood and identifies conditions like hypoxia or respiratory acidosis

Allergy and Immunological Testing

• To identify triggers for asthma or chronic cough

Pulmonary Stress Test (if needed)

• Evaluates how your lungs and heart respond during exercise or physical stress

Bronchoscopy (in select cases)

• A minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to view inside your airways and collect tissue or fluid samples if necessary

When Should You Have a Pulmonary Check-Up?

A respiratory screening is highly recommended if you:

• Have chronic or unexplained cough

• Experience difficulty breathing or wheezing

• Smoke or have a history of smoking

• Live in a high-pollution area or work in an environment with chemical exposure

• Have frequent respiratory infections or a family history of lung disease

• Have been diagnosed with chronic respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD, or sleep apnea

Regular check-ups are especially important for individuals over 40, smokers, and those with occupational exposure to dust, chemicals, or fumes.
