Re: COUGHING BLOOD
This can be common, especially if you have a violent cough and tear the tiny capilaries in your lungs.  If you are having a fever, go to the dr as you could develope a resp infection.  when I get colds, it always turns into a resp infection and I cough blood, though mine another story.  If you have any irritants also it could make your airway sore and more prone.  But if your cough goes beyond 2 weeks and you have not seen a dr go, or if you continuously cough blood.  But one in a while, it's not normally harmful, just annoying and startling.

Re: COUGHING BLOOD
Depending on how far along you are and how long you have been coughing for , it could be nothing.  I would get it checked out though, just to be on the safe side.

Re: COUGHING BLOOD

I'm curious to see how your cough pans out as I have been experiencing something similar and have also on occasion coughed up a bit of blood. But I do a lot of fire breathing shows and I put it down to using old liquid to fire breathe with a few weeks ago. I also had the flu this winter and have been thinking that the cough just won't go away. After hearing that other people have had the same thing and that it wasn't 'fire related', I'm thinking of heading to the doctor, hope you do too and then we can both finally get rid of the annoying cough. Hope you feel better soon :)

Re: COUGHING BLOOD
You should go and see the Dr before it gets any worse. In Year 11 I had something that just started out as a sore throat or just a minor cough and it got really bad. Eventually I had to stay in bed for quite a while due to bronchitis (and I was coughing up blood a lot by that stage).

Re: COUGHING BLOOD
If you have had a cough i would say the blood is from irritation, o, did it feel like it came from your chest? go get it checked hun, its probably nothing but with something like this and especially since your pregnant i would go get it checked. let us know how your are xoxo
