hi sarita,
dont get confused
u have asthma
u have clinical symptoms of asthma along with haemoptysis now
symptoms are aggravated now
i dont know whether PFT with bronchodialator reversibility is done or not
if not done then do it
ur asthma is not at all controlled
i dont know what medications are u taking right now
but ur treatment must be stepped up
u may take - inhaler with spacer 1. formeterol + budesonide 400 mcg 2 puffs bd, 2. levosalbutamol 2 puffs qds, 3. tab deriphyllin od 300mg od
and if there is aggravating lung infection then do treat it with proper antibiotics
i think with these steps ur asthma ll be controlled
do consult a good pulmonologist

Hi Sarita,
You shall see your doctor at the earliest. Respiratory infection is there along with Asthma, so it is difficult for you to manage on your own. As far as blood in sputum is considered it indicates that lung needs medical attention and severe pain chest again indicates for that. So get yourself treated by a skilled doctor then you can ask questions to strengthen yourself.
Wish you a speedy recovery to health
