Hi hubby has liver disease. His bloods are improving but he is unfortunately still drinking although he says he’s cut down. With alcoholism It’s hard to tell but a year ago he was decompensated now he’s compensated it’s been hell for the last year. The problem now is he can’t sleep he is up every hour of the night vomiting flem he’s been diagnosed with copd. The docs have him Gastro tablets and inhalers along with everything else he takes but it seems to be getting worse. He’s trying to hold down a full time job with less than 4 hrs sleep a night. We are constantly on the phone to docs but they don’t seem to know what to do. Waiting on brain scan for his memory loss and confusion I put it to the doc could this be HE but she dismissed that and referee him for neurology which we are still waiting for
Just wondering if anyone has these symptoms with the flem. It’s like a choking and just fluffy white flem comes up. It build up and he has to vomit it up. This is just on a night. It’s been going on months but has got worse last couple of month to the point he’s saying he can’t carry on
too and if it is liver related. He barely eats and his memory is getting worse

Based on what you have posted here, and his worsening symptoms, we would suggest for your husband to have a detailed medical assessment as soon as possible.
My husband had that issue. Once i got him to really quit drinking, it went away. His was so bad it would cause his arms to shake uncontrollably. The only way he could get rest from that part was to put his hands in his waist band and lay in dark quiet room. He's not had the phlegm/vomit/shake issue since April. He currently is back to drinking but a lot less. Instead of more than a pint Plus a night, it is a 12 pack on Friday for the whole weekend. I hope things get better for you❤
