FAQs

Symptoms, as well as medical and family history, are discussed during the patient's first consultation. A physical examination is then performed using a stethoscope to check for any breathing issues. Based on the initial assessment, they may recommend some diagnostic tests to get a detailed diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is received, treatment plans are discussed with the patient.
