What Causes Bloody Cough?
I have COPD and I am on oxygen 24/7.I am 66 young I do try to do things and not just sit. But I am weak a lot but I try. Last week I coughed up a little bit of blood a few times out or the week I did it 3 times it is not a lot but enough to make me wonder. Could this be some form of TB or what is causing me to do this now

Hello
There can be many reasons for your blood with sputum , like forceful coughing and even possible TB , I will have to run some tests and examine you before i can confirm this. Please dont worry and meet your doctor as soon as possible.
