Is there any condition of ENT that might cause you to cough up blood? Real red blood that pools in the tissue. This continued for about 15 minutes.
I have noticed today some small bumps at the back of my tongue, could one of these have bled, causing the bleed?
I have a history of lung Sarcoidosis (10 yrs ago) and it was presumed this may be connected, but the blood was 'bubbling' in my throat which lead to the coughing.
I have allergy asthma, I'm on seretide 500 aquahaler, and my GP has now put me on a brown steroid inhaler
to see if it helps, because for a few mornings after I coughed up the blood my chest felt quite tight.
i haven't yet been referred to the ENT dept, even though I also have post nasal drip which would account for some of the coughing. (I have a chronic cough besides the blood bit!)
Hope you can offer an opinion, I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks
Jeana.
