Pulmonary medicine is the subspecialty of internal medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and management of disorders of the respiratory system, including the lungs, upper airways, thoracic cavity, and chest wall.
Diseases commonly evaluated and treated by pulmonologists include asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), emphysema, lung cancer, interstitial and occupational lung diseases, complex lung and pleural infections including tuberculosis, pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary fibrosis.
Sleep is a complex biological process. While you are sleeping, you are unconscious, but your brain and body functions are still active. They are doing a number of important jobs that help you stay healthy and function at your best. So when you don't get enough quality sleep, it does more than just make you feel tired. It can affect your physical and mental health, thinking, and daily functioning. Lack of sleep can cause hormonal imbalances and can increase the likelihood of a stroke, heart attack, or hypertension.
Critical care medicine is the specialized care of patients whose conditions are life-threatening and who require comprehensive care and constant monitoring, usually in intensive care units.

I initially went in for sleeping problems, but the appointment was much more than that.
We discussed stressors, diet, exercise, and my actual daily life in such a depth that I was
not expecting. Not only did this make me gain trust in Dr. Salcedo, but it put at ease
some of my thoughts going in to the appointment. I’m very pleased, and look forward to
the in lab sleep study.
