PulmonaryGuide.com explains lung and breathing conditions in plain language. We cover pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary edema, lung cancer and the tests doctors use to diagnose them, so patients and families can understand a diagnosis and have better conversations with their own doctors.
What we publish
- Condition guides: symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment and outlook.
- Test explainers: what a pulmonary function test, CT scan or D-dimer test measures and what the results mean.
- Doctor directory: pulmonologists and lung specialists by state, city, hospital and condition, with clinic details our team checks.

13 articlesHow we work
Our writers research each topic using public health agencies such as the CDC and NIH, medical society guidelines and peer-reviewed studies, and list their sources. A physician then reviews the article for medical accuracy before it goes live, and each article shows who reviewed it and when. Read our Editorial Policy for details.
