Don't know what is happening?

Ok...

A friend of mine has this problem... Its kind of like:

Black finger tips, Red Blood-Like lumps on his arms, Veins in the eyes are sticking out (A Lot) Breathing problems, Pale Skin, Bruising all up the legs, Palms of hands and arch of feet are blackish-red, Finger nails look... Off colour too and toe nails...

I was also told that he was letting off white stool and really potent gasses from passing wind. Severe Coughing and eyes are also swollen as well as bloodshot, but the veins are popping out a lot... Supposedly (Coughing up black thick fluid) which I didnt see...

Could this be an infection, something like? Malaria? If so, is it contagious? Please, Ive been spending the whole day with him to make sure hes ok (One of my best friends) and I don't want to end up like this myself....

Anyone know anything liek this?

Well; I thought I would update you, it turned out to be major organ failure... His Liver, Kidneys and his Heart had swollen up and stopped working properly...

His heart had some failure, so blood wasnt being pumped to his other orgrans properly, causing his kidneys to shrink and stop functioning correctly, which led to liver failure... and because he wasnt getting enough blood, of course the oxygen wasnt getting to his lungs the way it should have been, thus making them slow down and making breathing difficult, the black fluid was from the tar in his lungs from smoking.... his lungs needed more room to breathe, so they pumped the tar out....  Then eventually killed him yesterday evening...

The autopsy they believed, he had overdosed on something, thought to be ecstacy, which caused his heart to pump too fast then go into a state... But i don't believe that, he would never have done anything like that... and if he did, he would have told me...

But the bad news is... He isn't coming back...

I will never forget him, for the good times, and the bad... He was the best I could have ever asked for... And, hes gone...

RIP Alex, Will always remember you... Love you forever...

Thankyou for your support though guys...

This appears to be an URGENT medical problem, especially with symptoms of breathing difficulty, coughing up black fluid, bruising, black fingertips.  I would seek medical attention as soon as possible.  How long has he had these symptoms?  Breathing problems can be very serious.  Hope you can get help soon and help your friend.
