Welcome to the healthcare magic.com
Well...I have gone through your question and the coughing out blood is called hemoptysis..
The most common causes for this condition are lung disease like..bronchectasis, pneumonia,tuberculosis brochogenic carcinoma...

I would suggest to do some tests like
chest xray,full blood count,bronchoscopy,sputem for AFBs and ESR and cousult your physician.
