Why Do I Have Blood Coming Out Of My Nose And Mouth While Sneezing And Coughing?

Just had the stomach flu (I know, not a "flu" but a gastrointestinal virus :) )... anyways, after first session of throwing up my nose was FULL of blood, fresh blood. Blew nose with three or four Kleenex; every time the Kleenex was full of blood. This happened the following couple of times as well, although not as bad. Also I continued to cough up blood, but this was more blood and mucous mixture. At some point, it lessened and changed colour, darker. From the first time on my throat felt quite swollen, still does to a lesser degree, and I really was choking a few times when throwing up.

Should I be concerned? Is it possible that something else is going on, besides the stomach bug, that I should be getting looked at?

Hello

Yes, you should be concerned as it looks like the infection (flu ) is spreading to your air passage and this can be a bit serious. I would like you to meet your doctor immediately as you need to under supervised medical care.
Please dont ignore this and rush to your doctor.
Thanks
