Adult onset Asthma?

I don’t have MAC, but do have mild adult onset asthma and mild bronchiectasis. My only symptom is a cough and I had it for a few years before I had the abnormal CT and subsequent pulmonary work-up. At Mayo for second opinion, they changed my inhaler to Advair and it was like miracle drug…that little nagging cough disappeared.
Did they do a methacholine challenge test during your PFT? That’s how mine was diagnosed and pulmonary doc said other docs had missed it before because they didn’t do that.

No testing done yet. One doc expressed this opinion and I've been trying to figure out if I do have adult onset asthma or if my infrequent chest tightness is due to the inflammation of the airways with the MAC. It's a confusing picture for me since that is my only symptom.
