NEED AN ADVICE

I have been smoking cocaine for more than 3 years. Have stopped 3 months ago. So got this:
1.Cough with black marks and blood in it, yes correct. Am not coughing on a regular basis. Just on a normal cough, I can see that. And sometimes felling like liquid sinking inside my throat. Then I intentionally cough to bring it out. It comes with black marks and heavy white or yellow saliva or sputum with blood sometimes. If I try to swallow it, my heart start beating up quickly and got stomach pain, have to throw it away. It also happens when I drink something to have this kind of saliva quickly coming out or when taking my teeth brush towards my throat or after a food. Night sweats frequently, lost of weight and pick up sometimes.

2.Pain in my brain, neck or throat is intermittent but very regular. Nothing make it better, it's suddenly stopping by itself. Beer make it worse. Do not see any spots or sores in my throat.
My head is frequently shaking all alone every day or 2 or when thinking or trying to focus on something, and sometimes just for nothing.

3. Difficulty paying attention long enough on chapters, feel like working a lot on my brain in doing that. When I look at something, I keep myself looking at long enough without having a notice to do so for a good while. Forgetting upcoming appointment, phone numbers.

I also got concerned as Cocaine mixed with other product such as salt ... may turn into potential poison. And drug dealers are sometimes mixing their stuff with other things to make it stronger or get you drunk quickly. Didn't I got unintentionally poisoned?

I have tried to use some antibiotics in the past (Bactrim, Amoxycillin, Dynavit). I think psycologically got helped as I could see sputum coming out on a regular basis with those marks, an idea to get cleaned inside. Sadly still in the same situation up to now. Even getting worse. Please help me on which health care to follow, need to recover, which medication to take...

TAKE MY CASE SERIOUS AND DO YOUR BEST TO HELP A STUDENT IN CONCERN WHICH I AM.

Kind regards,

First of all congrats on your being able to stop. I would call my doctor tomoorw and tell them what i going on. that black stuff you are coughing up sounds like blood. dark blood is not ususally something you want to put off. this is one reason they ask you when you go for a physical if you cough what color is it and is your poop a normal color or is it black the black is blood.
please please don't treat yourself with antibiotics. if you start an antibiotic you need to finish it, even though you feel better the infection most likely isnot out of your body and you are opening yourself up to another infection. only if your doctor tells you to stop this antibiotic for what ever reason should you stop.
I am not sure why your head is shaking, coudl it be withdrawals>(not sure about them)
Please go see a doctor about what you   are coughing up. the only color your sputum should be is clear.
you are a student, high school or college if you are in college, what are you majoring in.
good luck my friend and keep strong on staying drug free
