Coughing up blood with Phlegm

[The Stoned Jester]

Ok so ive been smoking weed now for about 15years fairly regularly with occasional breaks.

 

but just recently ive been smoking a shit load more because im getting nervous about my wedding soon.

 

and most mornings after i wake up ill cough up the normal funky phlegm but with red/brown blood looking streaks and blobs. - but it only happens for a bit in the morning - i can hack and cough up any other time of the day and its just normal, only after ive had a sleep and everything seems to settle.

 

obvisiouly im gonna go to the doctors ASAP and get it checked out, but is is semi normal for this to be happening or its sign of something more sinister?

Great answer Frazz,

TSJ, a small amt of blood in spittle isnt a problem, to experience it regularly is a bad sign indeed.

is it bright red fresh looking or does it look old and dark?

do you or have you smoked tobacco?

I wouldnt hesitate to get to the Dr.

You'd be better off asking this in a health forum as people there would be far more knowledgeable.

I suspect you will get the same answer regardless and it is the same advice I will give.

 

Stop inhaling any smoke (including weed) at least until you know what is causing it.

But most importantly, go and see a doctor immediately. It might have nothing to do with the ganja, there are a lot of things that can cause you to cough up blood and some of them are nothing to mess around about, so take tomorrow off work if you have to and rock in to have a doctor check it out.

 

Let us know how it goes, good luck.

Disturbing to hear. Like everyone else has said, consult a doctor and stop smoking until you know the cause of it. Could be something entirely unrelated, but it seems unlikely...

Ok so went to the docs .. got a chest X-ray and about 7 vials of blood taken (damn vampires ) and given a does of steroids and antibiotics ... went back 3 days later and given the all clear .... and now im coughing up barley anything even none now in the morning.

 

so dont know WTF it was but it scared the shit outta me, must of been some crazy chest infection.

 

but if it's the all clear ... i think i might go have a smoke now ..... been a week

 

Thanks for all your support
