1st appointment w/doc tomorrow. Any "must ask" questions ?

Many thanks for the replies and suggestions.
It seems my current condition is fairly mild although I may have had it since 2013 according to my history and ealier xrays. I think middle and upper right lobes. Probably caused by 2 or 3 pneumonias around that time frame although not dismissing some genetics as my sister also diagnosed about 3 years ago. I think the Doc mentioned testing for that and I was sent for more bloodwork.
Apparently I aced my lung function test but the Doc wants to work on the cough so I have started with an Aerobika device twice a day and Symbicort (definitely wishing I hadn't opted for the high deductible part D plan). At this point no nebulizing but maybe later. They took a sputum sample so I guess we will have to wait on the results of that.
Don't need to get tested for Acid Reflux as I already know I have that (started late last year as I have a Hiatal Hernia) and its a part of my coughing problem. However, Doc did not seem concerned that there was an acid aspiration issue. I need to continue getting the reflux under control as one cough seems to lead to another and its hard to tell the source.
Doc cleared me to carry on with my house renovationg (this is my job) and his only restriction/suggestion was to stay out of hot tubs LOL. I go back in 3 months.
The Mayo Clinic seems to be a fairly well-oiled machine once you are there. Everything is on campus and it happens that day - no coming back when they can fit you in - and only 15 minutes from home.

Pseudomonas is such a common and clinically significant finding, and therefore it was my understanding that it was tested for in standard respiratory cultures, especially when ordered by a pulmonologist. I am sorry you had that experience.

Maybe different labs have different tests. Like I say I still do not understand. I was given the usual sputum sample testing cup to test what bacteria was in my lungs and nothing was identified but I was treated with Augmentin and it cleared things up. But a year or so later when second course of Augmentin was tried and failed, I suggested Pseudomonas to my Pulmo and said he would test for it. It was a different test in that it required the sample be driven up on ice that day. The previous test was mailed in as I recall. Anyway this is the U of IA hospitals and clinics and I assume they have very good labs and testing. It is identified as a CF test. I find it all confusing for sure. So anyway I am not sure it is tested in standard cultures. Best to ask!
