Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis is more. Due to exposure with sand and humid environment, bronchitis can develop. And bronchitis can cause breathing difficulty and hemoptysis (blood in sputum). So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroids (budesonide or fluticasone). Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
