What Causes Headaches, Left Arm Pain And Severe Cough With Purple Sputum?

I have had headaches, my left arm aches, coughing up purple sputum.... Yes I smoke. This has been going on for about a month. Tylenol etc only works briefly. I had a subdural Hematoma 3 years ago requiring a twist drill burr hole.... Dizziness (room spins violently) headaches, memory issues, anxiety, depression, swift erratic mood swings.... I hurt.

Hello,

A headache may be due to your surgery or a post-procedure headache. It may be due to lower respiratory tract infection with elevated intracranial pressure or BPPV.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use Vertin thrice a day for five days. Avoid cool drinks and freeze water avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
