Tonight after dinner I cough a bit and blood starting coming out my mouth and nose. I called an ambulance they said 30 min at least, after 15 min I stop bleeding I felt physically ok so I cancelled the ambulance. After few hours I cough again and the bleeding started to but only for few min!! The blood was very thick and very very dark , I didn’t know what that was I never Experience anything like it !! Now I am scared to cough I am trying not to but is hard!! I do have DVT but I don’t think that would be the reason for me coughing up blood and that much I lost more than half pint of blood!! Any ideas guys?? Did any of you experience something like that? Please if you do I like to hear it!! Thank you

Suggest that you seek medical advice ASAP. Not sure that online is a good option for this.

I am sure you need to call that ambulance again. Let us know how you get on. All the best x

A&E. Now. Taci if there isn't an ambulance. Do not wait.

Hi Marcolove,This must have been so scary for you and I completely understand why you'd be panicked by it. If you are on an anticoagulant for your DVT, this bleed may have been a spontaneous one, which sometimes, unfortunately does happen while you are taking one. You need the advice of medical professionals who can explain what's going on, but, as a little reassurance for you, this kind of unexpected bleeding does occasionally just happen in this way with anticoagulants.

Wish you hadn’t cancelled the ambulance. Sounds like you need hospital input. Good luck.

Are you bleeding internally? I was bleeding out in my stomach, and my groin was swollen and painful. CHECK IT OUT!
