Yeah tried slightly impossible to get an appointment lately. I was told it could be acid reflux but don't know

in reply toMikekel

I have acid reflux and I have had chest infections and I wouldn’t say that they are similar symptoms. Most gp surgeries are doing phone appointments, I would ask for one of them. Coughing up phlegm is not acid reflux

always make sure your GP knows about this.... all too often we tend to blame everything on PBC. That isn't always the case.

Not what you're looking for?
