PULMONARY DISEASES WE TREAT
At Randolph Pulmonary & Sleep Clinic we treat a wide variety of pulmonary disease. Below is a list of the most common disease we treat.
COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.
ASTHMA
Asthma is a chronic, or long-term, condition that intermittently inflames and narrows the airways in the lungs.
EMPHYSEMA
A type of COPD involving damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs, so your body does not get the oxygen it needs. May experience chronic cough and trouble breathing during exercise. Commonly caused by smoking.
PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
A type of high blood pressure that affects arteries in the lungs and in the heart.
PNEUMONIA
Infection that inflames air sacs in one or both lungs, which may fill with fluid. team
SARCOIDOSIS
Inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs in the body, but mostly the lungs and lymph glands.
LUNG CANCER
A cancer that begins in the lungs and most often occurs in people who smoke.
LUNG NODULES
A small round or oval-shaped growth in the lung.
PULMONARY FIBROSIS
A lung disease that occurs when lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred. This thickened, stiff tissue makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly.

IN-OFFICE TESTING
SKIN SCRATCH TEST
A skin scratch test checks for immediate allergic reactions to as many as 70 different substances at once. This test is usually done to identify allergies to pollen, mold, pet dander, dust mites.
IMMUNOTHERAPY SHOTS
Allergy shots are regular injections over a period of time — generally around three to five years — to stop or reduce allergy attacks.
Each allergy shot contains a tiny amount of the specific substance or substances that trigger your allergic reactions. These are called allergens. Allergy shots contain just enough allergens to stimulate your immune system — but not enough to cause a full-blown allergic reaction.
Over time, your doctor increases the dose of allergens in each of your allergy shots. This helps get your body used to the allergens (desensitization). Your immune system builds up a tolerance to the allergens, causing your allergy symptoms to diminish over time.
