You definitely need to see a rheumatologist for treatment options. A rheumatologist can determine if any further testing is needed to confirm your diagnosis and then can offer treatment options in addition to the pulmonologist’s treatments. Good luck to you!

I have allergic asthma. I feel really sick (dizziness, tight chest, cough) but I never have a pulse ox below 98 so PCPs don't take it seriously. Do I really need a $1K consult with a pulmonologist?
