What Is Lung Disease?
10. When to See a Doctor
If you have any symptoms of lung disease such as a chronic cough, shortness of breath, or tightness in your chest that won’t go away, remember that seeing your doctor is your best bet for an accurate and timely diagnosis. Once your condition is identified, it will be easier to treat.
If you have a lung condition that has already been diagnosed, like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, please see your doctor if your symptoms progressively get worse or they suddenly flare up again. This could mean that your current treatment has stopped working.
