What Causes Bloody Cough And Nasal Discharge?
hi I have been suffering from an acute exacerbation of my asthma. I fell asleep earlier with my head up slightly, woke up, coughed and it was bright fresh blood, but blew my nose and only got more that looked as if it were clotting. I have no typical pulmonary embolism (chest pain, swelling, leg pain) symptoms?
