History, physical: The first thing that a pulmonologist will do is ask you questions about your history of breathing problems, stomach issues, infections, etc. Breathing tests, a chest xray and a ct scan may follow. If these are all pointing to unexplained bronchiectasis, a sweat chloride test will follow... If this is abnromal the diagnosis is made. If it is indeterminate, a genetic test might follow.
