A 37-yeаr-оld mаn presents tо yоur office with the complаint of cough. The cough began approximately 3 months prior to this appointment, and it has become more annoying to the patient. The cough is nonproductive and worse at night, and after exercise. He has had a sedentary lifestyle but recently started an exercise program, including jogging, and says he is having a much harder time with the exertion. He just runs out of breath earlier than he used to previously, and he coughs a great deal. He has not had any fever, blood-tinged sputum, or weight loss. He denies nasal congestion and headaches. He does not smoke and has no significant medical history. His examination is notable for a blood pressure of 134/78 mm Hg and lungs that are clear to auscultation bilaterally, except for an occasional expiratory wheeze on forced expiration. A chest radiograph is read as normal. What test would you do?
