Very scared

Ok i am a 29 year old male i used to smoke marijuana in cigar paper everyday but stopped several days ago before I became sick for several days coughing, body aches the chills head and sinus pains wheezing and no appetite while most of those symptoms stopped after several days the coughing and wheezing has stayed what concerns me is that I am wheezing still and sometimes coughing up a clearer phlegm (the phlegm 3days prior was dark green to yellow but is now more clear yellowish) with slight traces of blood from time to time can someone tell me what this possibly could be? Why am I still wheezing and  coughing up clear yellowish phlegm please help

Congratulations! You did something incredible for your body and mind - you stopped inhaling toxins. It seems like your body is trying to clear itself out - hence the clear phlegm. Try to see a doc - apply for low cost health insurance or go to a walk in urgent care clinic which would be cheaper than an ER bill. I hope it is just your body clearing itself out. Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like you have developed asthma.  Because you occasionally cough up blood, you should be tested for tuberculosis.  Your doctor will probably prescribe albuteral or other anti-asthmatic drugs to help you with the phlegm and cough.  I hope you don't have TB, but it is not unheard of.  If you do have it you might be hospitalized for a while and you will have to take the special drugs to combat it - for months.
