blood in phlegm but Dr says chest x-ray is clear
I went to see a Dr as i was bringing up a yellow phlegm and had a very wheezy chest. She ordered a chest x-ray of the front and right side, she also had my blood taken. Anyway about a day after I had the tests taken I started to bring up yellow phlegm that had pin pricks of blood in it.
I went back to see her today and she said that my x-ray was clear and look in good nick. she did tell me that i had a virus in my blood. she ended up giving me a puffer for my lungs and said that the blood was due to me coughing.
Its been abt 15hrs since I saw my Dr and now i am bringing up a lot more blood in a now clear phlegm. my question is can the Dr who reads the x-ray miss something like lung cancer ( im scared)
