For a diagnostic at my hospital they send me to the nurse for a Feno test.

They then send me to a technician for spirometry, lots of breathing in and out, in various ways. They have various tests to choose from.

Then you get sent for blood test, to check eosonophils, and Ige/allergies.

For me I then had to come back later at another appointment for x ray and ct scan.
