About pulmonologist (chest specialist)s in Rajshahi

A Pulmonologist, or Chest Specialist, diagnoses and treats diseases of the lungs, airways and breathing. In Bangladesh, people most often consult one for a long-standing cough, asthma, shortness of breath, recurrent chest infections, and tuberculosis (TB), which remains very common across the country. They also manage COPD (often linked to smoking and cooking-smoke exposure), pneumonia, pleural effusion (water around the lungs), bronchitis, sleep apnoea with heavy snoring, and breathing problems made worse by Dhaka's air pollution. In a typical consultation, the doctor takes a detailed history, listens to your chest, checks oxygen levels, and may order a chest X-ray, blood tests, sputum test or GeneXpert for TB, and a lung-function test (spirometry). For complex cases an HRCT scan of the chest may be advised. You should see a Chest Specialist if a cough lasts more than two to three weeks, if you cough up blood, if you wheeze or get breathless on mild activity, or if asthma or TB treatment is not improving. Many chest specialists in Bangladesh practise at medical college hospitals and private chambers, and follow-up after starting treatment is important.
