Which doctor should i go to for lung check up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Primary care doctor: To help a doctor listen to one's lungs, one can take big breaths through the mouth (without making noises), a few times while the doctor is listening to his back, and another few times while the doctor is listening to his chest. After that, a patient can go back to normal breathing while the doctor is listening to his heart. For known disorders requiring a specialist, one can see a pulmonologist.
