Why Am I Spitting Blood Without Coughing or Pain?
Hello I’m a 19 year old male that’s been spitting up blood with no cough or chest pain or difficulty breathing. It’s not a large amount of blood and doesn’t happen 24/7 / I used to vape / smoke weed but have stopped when I noticed this was happening. It’s been happening for about the last week and a half and have noticed the blood slowly increasing any thoughts on what this could be ??
Pulmonologist
Answered on 18th Oct '24
Blood sputum would be an alarming sign that should not be ignored. You used to vape and smoke weed and this is a vital point here. It can be that smoking is the cause of irritation in your lungs. This might lead to small bleeds in your throat. You have stopped smoking and that is a good thing. But for your safety, get a thorough physical examination by a pulmonologist as soon as possible.

Lungs transplant after at the age of 74
Male | 74
A lung transplant is a major surgery in which one person's damaged lungs are replaced with healthy ones from a donor. At the age of seventy-four, the body may not tolerate new lungs as well as when it was younger, which can cause some complications. The symptoms that tell you that you need a lung transplant are severe dyspnea and a permanent lack of energy. It's a difficult decision and requires careful thought as well as consultation with professionals.

Shortness of breath whenever coughing Dry cough Fever immediately after cough Cough not constant Cough comes and go
Male | 35
If you start to cough, become breathless soon after, and get a fever with a dry cough, that might be the reason for lung infections like pneumonia. The cough might happen periodically. These germs such as bacteria and viruses are to blame for it. Taking rest, drinking enough fluids, and talking to a doctor for help are the treatment steps which can include antibiotics if it is bacterial. Be sure to get a lot of rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Hello dr I am Suraj Gond from Azamgarh Up .I am suffering from cough and cold near about 5 days now time I feel some coughblood near about 3 days.tell me some ideas.
Male | 24
The problem you've got could be a respiratory infection. Coughing up blood or hemoptysis is when your blood vessels in the airways are irritated thus, the blood is released. Rest. Drink. Fluids. A hard no for smoking and polluted air. You can also use a humidifier, it will moisturize your throat and alleviate your cough. Nevertheless, in case the symptoms persist, or get worse, you are to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment.

This question is about my mother, 60 years old, with influenza type A that unfortunately led to viral pneumonia. She's hospitalized for the past 4 days, her flu seems to be subsiding, but the pneumonia is not. I am worried and I just wanted to know if she's gonna be alright doctor.
Female | 60
Viral pneumonia takes longer to get better compared to the flu. I’m glad that she is recovering from the flu. Symptoms of pneumonia include difficulty breathing, productive cough, and chest pain. To cure the infection, antibiotics will be administered among other drugs. She needs to have enough rest and time too. Therefore, follow the doctors’ instructions and be patient with her.

Male | 44
Asthma has different forms, one is cough-variant. With this type, you cough but no phlegm comes up. It makes your chest feel tight. Coughing causes pain. Allergies or exercise often trigger it. Inhalers prescribed by doctors help manage symptoms. See a pulmonologist if you experience this.

i am a 16 year old female. i suffer from breathing difficulties that only occur at night. it has been happening the past couple of nights. i vape. i possibly have anxiety.
Female | 16
In case you vape and feel nervous, this might be the thing that is exacerbating your distress. Vaping injures the lungs and causes breathing problems. Anxiety may also bring about a rare situation where one finds it hard to breathe. As an alternative try to keep away from as often as possible and have deep breath exercises to calm anxiety or chat with someone. If it keeps up make sure you obtain help from a healthcare professional.

Could cough with mucus & Chest Block
Female | 28
This may be either a cold virus or a respiratory infection. The mucus you are coughing up is your body's mechanism of clearing out microbes. The liquids, humidifiers, cough medicine without a prescription, and the physician's instructions might assist you in handling the symptoms. You can drink fluids, use a humidifier, or take over-the-counter cough medicine to reduce the symptoms.

Cough not cure for 2 years
Female | 39
A cough that has lasted for 2 years can be a serious issue that we need to investigate. It could be attributed to several causes such as asthma, allergies, or even acid reflux. Other symptoms such as chest pain or difficulty breathing might give us clues. It's essential to go to a doctor for proper assessment and treatment. Don't postpone, as controlling the main issue can promote the relief of that intractable cough.

I don't have a persistent cough or nasal congestion, but I'm experiencing catarrh in my chest that occasionally impedes my ability to speak. There are times when I need to clear my throat frequently, as the catarrh buildup in my chest restricts airflow or speech. Occasionally, I find myself needing to bring it out through my mouth by gently guiding it from the nasal passage

Hlo sir last 2 years i have been diagnosed with tb..tb is cure but xray report slight bronchovesicular prominance are seen in peri hillar and lower zone..i always have throat ireeitation and back throat mucus produce...recently i am going to married does it affect my life
Male | 23
You had TB some time ago, and now you're worried about your lungs and throat. The X-ray showed a slight prominence, probably from the old TB. Throat irritation and mucus at the back are common issues nowadays. These shouldn't affect your marriage, but it's important to care for your health. To ease the irritated throat and mucus, stay hydrated, use a humidifier, or gargle with warm salt water. However, if the symptoms don't improve or worsen, see a pulmonologist for advice.
