Question

Answer 1

Talk to the pulmonologist (lung doctor). If he recommends seeking further consult, he will refer you to the correct type of doctor for your needs. At some point in time, depending on symptoms, degree of illiness, and future plans (ie fertility problems), she may want to see a rheumatologist and/or a hematologist.
