Is Excessive Spitting Up Blood Related To Rheumatoid Arthritis ?

I have been spitting up blood for months now. I also have a cough and hoarseness. I have had xrays ct scans endoscopy and bronchoscopy. They cannot find anything. The only thing they haven't checked is my heart. I have severe Rheumatoid Arthritis for over 20 years. Could this be a mitral valve problem. Thank you

Hello.

I have studied your case.

Yes it can be valve problem.

An ultrasound scan of the heart, called an echocardiogram. This is a painless test which can confirm that your heart is large and dilated.

You can make your self healthy by proper diet and adequate exercises, along with holistic approach like yoga.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
