Asthma/COPD

Both asthma and COPD cause a cough, shortness of breath and airflow limitation. COPD is almost always associated with a long history of smoking, while asthma occurs in non-smokers as well as smokers.

Pulmonary Fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease where there is scarring of the lungs—called fibrosis—which makes it difficult to breathe. This is because the scarring causes the tissues in the lungs to get thick and stiff and makes it hard to absorb oxygen into the bloodstream.

Pulmonary Function Testing

A Pulmonary Function Test measures how well your lungs work. At Henderson Pulmonology provides comprehensive lung evaluations in a comfortable, convenient setting.

Pulmonary Hypertention

Pulmonary hypertension is a type of high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart. In one form of pulmonary hypertension, called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), blood vessels in the lungs are narrowed, blocked or destroyed.

Lung Nodules

Many people have lung nodules. These abnormal growths are rarely cancerous. Respiratory illnesses and infections can cause nodules to form in the lungs. Most lung nodules are not a sign of lung cancer and don’t require treatment.
