Some of the common conditions treated by a pulmonologist are:

- Bronchitis, which happens when you have inflamed lower airways
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which causes an airflow blockage
- Emphysema, which happens when the alveoli in your lungs are damaged
- Lung disease which affects the space and tissue within the lung
- Occupational lung diseases that occur due to the inhalation of dusts, chemicals, or proteins
