Brief Answer:
You should get a chest X-ray done.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on 'Ask A Doctor' forum.
I can understand your concern.

We need to rule out hemoptysis (blood in sputum).
So get done chest x-ray.

Please let me know--

1. Do you smoke?
2. Do you have weight loss?
Please let me know the answers of above-asked questions so that I can guide you better.

I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks
