Matthew T. Naughton is a pulmonologist based on Commercial Rd in Melbourne, VIC (3004). He looks after people who have breathing problems, sleep-related breathing issues, and ongoing lung and heart conditions.
If you’re dealing with central sleep apnoea or obstructive sleep apnoea, Matthew helps sort through what’s going on and what can be done day to day. That includes symptoms like loud snoring, broken sleep, drowsiness, and excessive daytime sleepiness. At times, people also feel faint or struggle with regular breathing at night, and that’s taken seriously.
He also supports patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Over time, these conditions can change, and treatment often needs adjusting as your symptoms and triggers shift. For some people, breathing issues can link in with other health problems too, like heart failure and pulmonary oedema, so care may focus on the whole picture rather than just one set of symptoms.
Another area of care is lung circulation and oxygen issues. Matthew works with people who have pulmonary hypertension, and those who feel short of breath with low oxygen or episodes that can come with cerebral hypoxia. In some cases, breathing patterns can become irregular, and issues like hyperventilation are also considered when working out a plan.
There’s also care for people living with obesity and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Drowsiness and low energy can be part of the picture, along with ongoing breathlessness. People with insomnia and sleepiness can feel stuck in a tough cycle, so it helps to get proper checks and clear next steps.
Matthew’s practice also looks after adults who have complex or long-term needs. That can include patients with hypertension, dementia where breathing and sleep still need managing, and those who may be planning for or recovering from a lung transplant. He brings a calm, practical approach, focusing on what helps most in everyday life.
