hi I'm are teacher and this year I'm lucky 24 lady.No smoking no drink.
but recently I'm so tired n stress with my work.First thing i feel dizzy. and couple days after when I was do my work i suddenly cough and i notice it was not just cough but with a lot of blood which scared me too.
please help me with this.I'm being moody since that incident.
blood in your sputum can be a sign of pneumonia. i have had pneumonia 5/6 times and the worst three times, i was coughing up blood. make sure you see your doctor!!
thanks for the posts... i will be going back to my doctor on friday.. today there was no blood. hope it continues to be that way.. god bless the 2 of you
Hi Chris, This is how my first lung infections surfaced- with blood in my sputum- however it didn't go away when I drank water- it was present in the deep secretions I coughed up. You should see a pulmonary doctor and they can do a test where they stick a lighted scope up your nose to examine the nasal pasages, airway to see for inflamation, bloodvesels, etc. That was what they first did to me. It is done right in the office and that helps them distinguish where it is coming from and why to help rule out other things first. It could be the first sign of an infection or it could be just from some soars in the nose higher up, like a polyp that are bleeding, etc.
Hi Chris,
It does sound like its coming from your nose, sounds like a sinus infection but those can be serious to.If you start coughing up blood at other times then I would go back to the doctor and ask for a chest x-ray. It took me going twice before they gave me one, and I found out I had abcesses in my lung. Good Luck
