Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Pulmonary care with Dr. Jordan Pron:

What is a Pulmonologist?

A pulmonologist is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats diseases of the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and breathing muscles. They are experts in a wide range of conditions, from asthma and COPD to lung cancer and sleep apnea.

I have a long history of smoking. Should I be screened for lung cancer?

Lung cancer screening with a low-dose CT scan is recommended for high-risk individuals, often based on age and smoking history. Early detection, when the cancer is most treatable, is crucial. Please schedule a consultation with Dr. Pron to discuss your specific eligibility.

What is a sleep study (polysomnography)?

A sleep study, or polysomnography, is the gold standard test for diagnosing sleep apnea. It's an overnight study performed in a comfortable lab setting, monitoring brain waves, heart rate, breathing patterns, and oxygen levels to assess sleep quality and identify breathing disturbances.

How can I prevent my asthma or COPD from getting worse?

Preventing asthma or COPD from worsening is a partnership with Dr. Pron. Key strategies include using your prescribed inhalers correctly, avoiding triggers like smoke or pollen, getting recommended vaccinations, and having a clear action plan for flare-ups.

What is a pulmonary function test (PFT)?

A pulmonary function test (PFT) is a series of breathing tests that measure lung function, similar to an EKG for your lungs. Dr. Pron uses PFTs to diagnose conditions like asthma and COPD, assess their severity, and monitor how well treatments are working.

My partner says I snore loudly and stop breathing at night. Should I be concerned?

Yes, this is a classic sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a serious condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Treating OSA is crucial for preventing long-term health problems like high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Dr. Pron can help determine if you have OSA and recommend appropriate treatment.

What is a CPAP machine?

A CPAP machine is a small, quiet device that delivers a gentle stream of air through a mask to keep your airway open during sleep. It's the most effective treatment for sleep apnea, preventing dangerous drops in oxygen and dramatically improving sleep quality.

My CT scan showed a 'lung nodule.' Does this mean I have cancer?

No, the vast majority of small lung nodules are benign and often old scars from past infections. Dr. Pron is an expert in evaluating nodules, and will use their size, appearance, and your risk factors to determine the best course of action, which is often just careful monitoring.
