Is the blood you are bring up bright red
or is it pink? And is it just coming up as
little spots on the tissue or is it alot
like globs or more. If it is the second,
go right to the ER NOW!
If it is just little spots, it could be
you broke some small blood vessels just
coughing real hard. Call you dotor ASAP to
make sure. Might be time to put aside your
phobia and consintrate on you health
issues. Alot of people have "White Coast
Symdome" or "Hospital Phobia". Sometimes
the help you may need is more important.
