Respiratory physiologists test how well the lungs are working. 

They help diagnose breathing problems like asthma, COPD, and sleep-related breathing disorders. 

They work with people who have shortness of breath, chronic cough, or reduced lung function. 

Their tests help doctors choose the right treatments and support patients in breathing more easily and staying active.
