I do have GERD. My lung burning is what finally led me here. Pulmonologist did a PFT which he said was normal but did a sputum that came back positive for MAC. I am having a ct on the 17th.

vegita This is not a GERD thread but we've brought up the possibility of GERD/GORD.
What are YOUR symptoms with GERD? Does it not appear to be heartburn that does go along with Acid Reflux/GERD.?
I have constant sputum that is, so it appears, a combination of saliva/moisture and probably some mucus. It is worse after I eat. I also was told I have a small hiatal hernia so not sure what is the reason for the constant sputum/phlegm However in my case it could be being caused by both diagnosis...hiatal hernia and Bronchiectasis. Testing at NJH did not think I have GERD/GORD but I'm not so sure that I don't have it.
