hi!my father is experiencing the same thing but he is so worried. he said that he wants to be admitted in the hospital.I'm a bit irritated bec he is very hard headed. He was already treated, however he keeps on tiring himself and of course that's the reason why he is bleeding again. he is a very negative person and keeps on saying that he might die. i told him that his negative outlook in life will kill him. can you give me other tips that he can do just in case he will bleed again.thnx

I was diagnose also with tb and after the 6months medication got sputum cultured and turned out negative but my doctor said when blood gurgled my lungs I just cough it out and take hemostan 500mg 3x daily until the bleeding stop and it's a lifetime maintenance every time I cough out blood and had to rest to help stop the bleeding and it also help stop my bleeding eating mentos menthol candy. Hope it could help you. My doctor also explained to me that when our body got very tired or weak the scar in our lungs would bleed again and this is what I observe in my body that when I get bery tired my right lung scar would bleed

I am presuming you are talking about a TB skin test...the one where you have to watch it and see if it changes in certain ways.

Or...maybe there is a TB shot to immunize against TB...I don't know the answer to that one but if you bleed from a single shot and only for a short time it might be normal.  I take daily aspirin and I bleed for a short time when they take blood from my inner arm.  I hope someone else can give you a better answer...I tried...:o)

After the doctor injected me with the tb shot, the site started to bleed. Is this test valid or do i need to be retested?
