- Gather previous medical records, including imaging reports (X-rays, CT scans) and test results.

- For specific tests like pulmonary function tests, you may be asked to avoid using bronchodilator inhalers for a period beforehand.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to the consultation and any subsequent testing.

Risks & possible complications
- Risks are highly dependent on the specific diagnostic or therapeutic procedure performed (e.g., bronchoscopy has its own risk profile).
- General risks of medication management include potential side effects or allergic reactions to prescribed drugs.
- Incorrect or delayed diagnosis leading to progression of the underlying disease.
- Exacerbation of symptoms during diagnostic testing, such as coughing or bronchospasm.
- Infection, though rare from consultation, is a risk associated with invasive procedures.
- Complications related to long-term therapy, such as oral thrush from inhaled corticosteroids.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery varies widely based on the disease and treatments involved. There is no single recovery pathway.
- For chronic conditions, 'recovery' means effective long-term management through medication adherence and lifestyle changes.
- After invasive procedures like bronchoscopy, you will be monitored for a short period and may need someone to drive you home.
- Pulmonary rehabilitation programs involve structured exercise and education to build stamina and manage breathlessness.
- Key post-consultation steps include following the prescribed treatment plan, using inhalers correctly, and attending follow-up appointments.
- Lifestyle modifications such as smoking cessation, vaccination, and avoiding pollutants are critical components of ongoing care.
