Lungs (Respiratory Medicine)
Respiratory problems commonly present with a spectrum of symptoms that include cough, sputum production, haemoptysis (coughing up blood), shortness of breath, wheezing (noisy breathing), chest pain (with breathing) and unrefreshed sleep. Respiratory specialists are trained to manage a whole range of airway and lung conditions as well as sleep problems, which can be of different complexity in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Multidisciplinary team approach commonly involves respiratory specialists e.g. in the Intensive Care Unit.
