Ok its a bit graphic

I woke about 45 mins ago and was just lying in bed and then I sat to get up and started coughing really badly I was finding it hard to breathe and was retching , ran into the bathroom this continued threw up biley shit a couple times, then it slowed down and stopped and I noticed the mucus I'd coughing up was bloody. It's still a little now but not nearly so much. I'm gonna pop the walk in centre in a bit but any ideas on what/why?

    cant really say anything, but go to the walk in centre now if its open

    while it often turns out to be innocent, you can never take chances when blood is involved

    :no:

    Coughing up blood isn't normal.

    My advice - see a doctor.

    Smoking might be something to do with it, but then I'm a smoker and I've never experienced that so it's not as if it's just a normal, everyday occurence. It's a bit scary, but you should go and get checked out... better to be safe than sorry when it comes to coughing up blood - always.

    FFS - go to the doctor! It might just be something stupid like an infection, but it could be the first symptom of something really nasty.

    Sounds like good advice :). Smoking sucks anyway - think how much extra beer you'll be able to buy if you stop smoking ;).
