Re: Well, she has pneumonia : Gretchen

[Guest guest]

Hi Gretchen, no Kristan is not on any acid-reflux med. It may very

well be asthma related. I asked her family doctor as this happened

two months ago too and she said she didn't want to confirm it is

asthma, not enough of a pattern yet, but if it happens again, then

she suspects that she has asthma too.
