Coughing up blood in the morning

Coughing up blood in the morning

I’m a 61 year old male & have smoking pot nearly every day for about 4 years.  I have been wheezing for about 2 months.  Last week I coughed up a large wad of very red blood & my tonsils felt swollen. I don’t have a cough. Then nothing until again this morning I coughed up a little blood mixed with spit.  I have been under a lot of stress lately & have lost a dear pet. My family has a history of asthma. Any ideas of what I might have?  Thank you.

Welcome to our community, feel free to post any questions you have.

As far as I know, asthma does not normally cause blood to be coughed up.  It sounds like some sort of inflammation and irritation in the throat and lungs.  Defintely worth a doctor's visit.

Let us know how it goes.
