Phlegmy chest and snotty nose - B12 reversing symptoms??

Hi all, I recently completed my 6 loading doses and am 4 weeks away from my 12 week top up. I am glad to say that most of the B12D issues have subsided if not disappeared (these were lethargy, numbness in thumb and forefinger and occasional twitches in right eyelid -not serious by other B12D suffers symptoms and posts). However, I seem to be left with a phlegmy throat / chest and a snotty nose. I had been on RAMIPRIL 2.5mg for a short while and am aware that this does cause a cough in at least 10-20% of those taking it. GP advised to stop ramipril which I did 4 days ago but no real improvement. Could this be part of the "reversing effect" some suffer when starting B12D treatment. Has anyone else had same issue ?? I wont DR Google chest conditions as it would be too frightening.

Not medically trained,

I would have thought possible side effect from Ramipril..........

Common side effects

A dry, tickly cough that does not get better. Cough medicines do not usually help for coughs caused by ramipril. ...

Feeling dizzy or lightheaded, especially when you stand up or sit up quickly. .

Headaches. ...

Diarrhoea. ...

Being sick (vomiting) ...

A mild skin rash. ...

Blurred vision.

You have only been off them for a short while, if your symptoms do not improve I advise to see your Gp.
