I was lying in bed and could not stop coughing. I got drank some water, it didn t stop. I went to the bathroom and tried to brush my teeth. Then I started throwing up foam and it had some bright blood with a little dark blood in it. I am a little sick at my stomach now. Should I be concerned?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should get done Chest x-ray to rule out pulmonary cause for your hemoptysis (coughing out blood). Chances of oral bleeding is also there since you start coughing blood after brushing. So consult dentist to rule out oral cause for bleeding. If both of these are normal than no need to worry. Bleeding may be because of friction from excessive coughing. So take cough suppressants and antihistamines.
