bloody sputum
i am a 65 yr old white felmale and have been experiencing fresh blood in my sputum in the mornings, which goes away fairly quickly and is only a small amount. i stopped smoking 6 weeks ago as i did have a bit of a dry cough during the night and the odd pain in my upper chest. is this something to worry about or is it fairly common? i am not overweight, reasonably fit and exercise regularly.<br>hope you can advise me as to whether i should follow this up or not.<br>kind regards<br>grace<br>
grace, i would have it checked out if i were you. the least would be a physical examination and a chest x-ray. good luck.
if you have had problems with excessive bleeding this may be related. obviously you must be seeing a doctor and you should address this question to the person ordering your tests. good luck. see more... if this is old news, just a bad habit. if new onset, you need to see an ophthalmologist/neurologist to rule out any neurological disease. see more... brown blood is old blood so it could have been when your dr has given you an exam he&#39;s just irritated the area. it could also be remnants of implantation. i would say aslong as its not red blood you should be fine but you should ring your dr and discuss with him to ease your mind as you don&#39;t want to be stressing yourself out if you don&#39;t need to be
good luck and let me know what happens x Hi raprilliya,
