Blood Coming From Lungs Or Throat? Posted: 09-30-03 14:43pm
Has anyone ever had blood just well up in
thier throat? This happenned to me last
sat. I was feeling fine then all of a
sudden I had a feeling of lots of fluid in
my throat. When I spit blood came out , I
kept bleeding for about 10- 15 minutes. I
went to the emargency room, and they said
x-rays and blood work looked ok. But it
sounded as though I had bronchitis, which
I recieved a script and cough medicine.
I went to my family doc monday and she
couldn't find anything either, except that
I may have bronchitis. I spit up bloody
sputum from time to time. I was just
wondering if anyone out there has run into
anything like this before? Needless to
say I just keep wondering if this is going
to happen again?

Spit Up Bloody Sputum Posted: 10-01-03 03:55am
How old are you ?
Have you gotten any disease of lung before
?
Common cause of spit blood include
tuberculosis ,bronchiectasis,cancer ,
bronchitic .I advise you to take a ct
examination of your lung and take a test
for excluding the possibility of
tuberculosis while you taking some
medicine of antibacterial .
Good luck !

Had a ct done on 10/02/03. I have a
spot on my left lung. Docs are'nt sure
what it is. Been going through periods
of coughing up blood clots, for 9 days
now, and been on levaquin for same period
of time. Hope to see a lung doc soon.
Thanks. By the way i'm 40 and a non
smoker.
