| Thanks for the insight. |
I would see a doc. I am a smoker and I drink a lot and I have never coughed up blood. |
The whole dibs on the guns thing is just the standard joke whenever someone asks for medical advice. Spitting up blood could be anything, from rupturing a few blood vessels while coughing to something more serious. Have it checked out just in case. |
I mean really, I know that all bad things have to start somewhere, but I am trying to convince myself that whatever is wrong with me over the past couple days is of not drinking after last week, then this morning, coughed so damn violently that ripped something. I have tried to recreate the cough at work to see if bloody mucus would come up, but just little salive with a miniscule amount of red color. Or what looking like about a mililiter of blood in the saliva. |
I'm a hypochondriac myself. I called my doc, and he laughed at me. I was 27 when this happened. Was the blood bright red, or dark/black? |
No offense taken. Mother's Day happened to be the last day I could smoke, drink, or over eat for that matter. Have a physical in about 4 months. I have always been pretty athletic with things like wrestling, but after school, the pounds just kinda add on over the years. Figured the not drinking and smoking was why I felt so weird. |
Make a phone call. |
Exactly what I was thinking-or first signs of lung cancer. Why do you smoke? The label says they will kill you. Doesn't matter if you are in your 20's. Typical first sign of lung cancer. Happened to my dad at Thanksgiving several years ago. Coughed up blood, went to doc and it was lung cancer. The End. Why aren't you at the hospital? Oh. You're a tough smoker. Forgot. Do you have tattoos also? Cancer is tougher than you. You better get to the doc. |

You're perfectly fine. One day of a little blood coughing never killed anyone. It's the 2 weeks of blood coughing that does them in. You overdid it a little. Take a few days to relax and heal. Ease up on the smokes for a day or two. - BG EDIT: I'm not a doctor, nor do I have any medical expertise. I was, however, a heavy smoker and woke up to a bloody cough on a couple occasions. |

This is not the sort of thing that can be diagnosed over the net. There are literally dozens of differentials for coughing up blood (hemoptysis) Certainly alcohol (diuretic, which dehydrates you) and smoking (which irrritates the linings of the respiratory system) do not help, but the only definitive answer is from a Doc, who may run any of a variety of tests. |

Bye..... Your already dead but don't know it. GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!! Have you ever seen a post that AR15.com has saved a person from dieing? Jeez-o-be. This is the last place that I would come for medical advice or relationship advice. Matter of fact I would not go to the Internet for any type of medical advice or relationship advice. I would go here for gun advice and that's about it. Go to the fucking hospital right now you stupid shit. And I say that for your safety. No offense intended. H. |
