What Could Blood In Cough Indicate?
I am a Diabetic who has had a long term cough 2-3 months which yesterday without warning became a coughing up of bright red blood. this lasted about 30 minutes with about 6 cough ups of blood. I have no other side effects and otherwise feel fine so have not yet consulted a physician.

Hello,
It is a very dangerous thing and must consult your doctor immediately.
Since you are diabetic,There are increased chances of tuberculosis and pneumonia.In older people it could be sign of lung cancer also.
You need immediate intervention and can't take it lightly.
Thanks
