When to seek respiratory review
Breathing symptoms deserve a clear diagnosis
Cough, wheeze and shortness of breath can arise from many different conditions. A pulmonologist—also called a respiratory or chest physician—assesses the symptom pattern, examination findings, previous treatment and relevant investigations before recommending a personalised plan.
COPD and emphysema
Smoking-related or exposure-related airflow obstruction, chronic bronchitis and progressive breathlessness.
Persistent cough
Cough lasting several weeks, repeatedly returning or associated with sputum, wheeze, reflux or nasal symptoms.
Breathlessness
Unexplained or disproportionate shortness of breath requiring structured respiratory assessment.
Bronchiectasis and infections
Recurrent chest infections, daily sputum, previous pneumonia or suspected structural airway disease.
Interstitial lung disease
Assessment of possible pulmonary fibrosis, restrictive lung physiology or unexplained imaging abnormalities.
Pleural disease
Assessment of pleural fluid, pleural thickening, recurrent pleural problems and related breathing symptoms.
Pulmonary vascular disease
Assessment of suspected pulmonary hypertension and respiratory review before selected operations.
Seek urgent medical care for severe or rapidly worsening breathlessness, blue or grey lips, confusion, collapse, significant coughing of blood, severe chest pain or very low oxygen readings. This webpage is not an emergency service.
A structured assessment
Looking beyond the symptom
Breathlessness and cough are symptoms, not diagnoses. The aim of specialist assessment is to identify the most likely cause, recognise important warning features and select investigations that can genuinely change management.
- Review of symptom pattern, triggers and previous flare-ups
- Smoking, vaping, occupational and environmental exposures
- Previous chest imaging, hospital admissions and treatments
- Inhaler selection, technique, adherence and response
- Interaction between asthma, nasal allergy, reflux and sleep
- Individual follow-up based on diagnosis and clinical risk
Clinical consultation
A detailed history and examination establish which respiratory questions need answering.
Targeted investigations
Testing is selected according to the clinical problem rather than applying one package to every patient.
Personalised treatment
The plan may include inhaled treatment, trigger management, further testing, referral or monitoring.
Review and refinement
Follow-up confirms whether the diagnosis and treatment plan are producing the expected improvement.
Connected specialist services
Respiratory care supported by focused testing
Australian Polyclinic brings respiratory consultation, lung-function testing, allergy assessment and sleep diagnostics together. Not every patient needs every test; investigations are selected after clinical review.

Dr G. Sarwar Chaudhry
MBBS, FRACP (Australia), FCCP (USA)
Consultant Pulmonologist, Sleep Physician and Allergy Specialist
Dr Chaudhry completed specialist physician training in Australia and assesses patients with common and complex respiratory conditions. His work brings together respiratory medicine, sleep medicine, allergy and detailed interpretation of pulmonary function testing.
His professional interests include asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, sleep-related breathing disorders and interventional pulmonology. Bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound and pleural procedures are hospital-based services arranged when clinically indicated rather than routine procedures performed at the clinic.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
General information about pulmonology consultations at Australian Polyclinic in DHA Lahore.
What is the difference between a pulmonologist and a chest specialist?
In everyday use, “pulmonologist,” “respiratory physician,” “lung specialist” and “chest specialist” often refer to a doctor trained to diagnose and manage diseases of the lungs and airways. Pulmonologist and respiratory physician are the more formal specialist terms.
Which symptoms should be assessed by a pulmonologist?
Assessment may be appropriate for persistent or recurring cough, wheeze, unexplained breathlessness, recurrent chest infections, coughing of blood, abnormal chest imaging, low oxygen readings or respiratory symptoms that are not improving with initial treatment.
Do I need a pulmonary function test before my appointment?
Not necessarily. The most appropriate test depends on your symptoms, examination and previous results. Some patients need spirometry, while others may require complete pulmonary function testing, imaging or a different investigation. Bring any previous reports or scans to your consultation.
Can asthma, allergy and chronic cough be assessed together?
Yes. Asthma, nasal allergy and persistent cough frequently overlap. Dr G. Sarwar Chaudhry’s combined respiratory and allergy practice allows these related problems to be considered within one structured assessment.
Does Australian Polyclinic offer breathing tests?
Yes. The Australian Pulmonary Function Laboratory offers spirometry with bronchodilator assessment and complete pulmonary function testing, including lung volumes and diffusion-capacity testing. The tests selected depend on the clinical question.
Where is the pulmonology clinic located and what are the consultation hours?
Australian Polyclinic is located at First Floor, Building 19, CCA, DHA Phase 5, Lahore. The clinic is open Monday to Saturday from 2:00pm to 9:00pm. Dr G. Sarwar Chaudhry’s consultation hours are generally 4:00pm to 8:00pm, and appointments are recommended.
