What brings most patients to see me
Three areas where a specialist opinion usually changes the answer.
A cough that will not go away
Most coughs settle in three to four weeks. When one does not, or when a scan report mentions something unexpected, the question is what is driving it.
- Cough lasting more than eight weeks
- Repeated chest infections each winter
- Worry about lung cancer, including in non-smokers
- Findings such as lung nodules or bronchiectasis
Breathlessness
Getting out of breath doing things that used to be easy has many possible causes. Basic tests are often normal, which is exactly when specialist lung function testing helps.
- Breathless on stairs or everyday activity
- Normal GP tests but ongoing symptoms
- Reduced performance in running or cycling
- Long Covid and post-viral breathlessness
Sleep, snoring and night-time breathing
Wearables and sleep apps flag problems they cannot diagnose. A proper sleep study tells you whether there is something to treat.
- Waking unrefreshed despite enough hours
- Snoring, or pauses in breathing noticed by a partner
- What your watch or sleep app actually measures
- Assessment for obstructive sleep apnoea

KIND WORDS
"Having struggled with lengthy turnaround times with my GP, I decided to go to Dr Chinegwundoh at short notice. I had by this time been unwell for almost three months and a cough which was so violent it was pulling muscles in my back. Immediately he took control, gave me an Xray, results in 10 minutes, a CT scan and then a bronchoscopy. With a relaxed and confident manner he diagnosed me inside two weeks, and found I had Necrotising Pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. I cannot describe how grateful I am. The manner and speed in which I was treated was exemplary and I always felt very cared for and safe in his care. I could not be more grateful to Dr Chinegwundoh."
