Small amount of blood when I cough

[Natsteveo]

Hi everyone sorry to inflict my problems on you all

I have severe health anxiety like huge hypochondriac

I've had a sore throat and cough for the last 2 days from my daughter and granddaughter who also had it but I've been coughing and having really thick dark green phlegm (sorry for the tmi) I know that's normally a symptom of a chest infection. But I coughed earlier and I had a small trace of red blood in it .....now I'm absolutely beside myself thinking if got lung cancer or something I know its ridiculous but ice never coughed up with a trace of blood in it..is it possible I coughed too hard has anyone else experience this before I'm so worried its ridiculous I know but it's so overwhelming I've never had it before...I've coughed since and it not happened since (touch wood) but I have sores on the roof of my mouth I wonder if its come from the shores instead of my throat

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Nat

Hiya nat ....I always get this when I get chest infection sometimes had clots too dr always says it the strain through coughing but maybe get a chest X-ray to put your mind at ease.. hope you feel better soon

Hi - before I even finished reading your post I thought to myself def coughed too hard just like when some people blow their nose too hard too. Lots of coughs and colds doing the rounds this time of year. Keep an eye on it naturally but I’m sure it’s nothing to even think anymore about ! Wish you well

Hi Nat, it's always best to have it checked out by your doctor.

I did have that once and the cause was Bronchitis. Once I was put

on antibiotics as well as with time, it went away.

Feel better soon. xx

Hi , you’ve probably burst a tiny blood vessel as you’ve coughed. I’ve had this before, try not to worry .

[Natsteveo in reply to 1973m]

I reckon I have as well

Thanks for your support

Take it easy Nat

It could come from tour throat, gum or maybe a small blood vessel from your nose that you swallowed or even from the lung , amygdala, but take an x-ray and calm down nothing to worry that much okay?

[Natsteveo in reply to MarkFL]

Thanks mark I know it’s nothing to worry about but it’s always makes us worry don’t it

Thanks for your support

U bet!

I will have to have a surgery next month ( diverticulitis)

So far I'm calm but more worried to have the recovery time too long and losing work but I'm also hypochondriac and trying to not think abou the surgery itself and focusing on my healing process

So My tip is always avoid google Searching symptoms because it could trigger lots of problems sometimes more than the issue you really have lolz

Stay safe and take care

[Natsteveo in reply to MarkFL]

Dr google is naughty I’ve stopped using it as it makes me 100 times worse.. my mum had diverticulitis I remember her being in constant pain I do feel you though it’s the build up to surgery ain’t it my mind did overtime when I had a cyst removed so know what you mean

Take care mark

[MarkFL in reply to Natsteveo]

That's it !

Diverticulitis causes really sharp pain but I ll be alright just need to fix the problem lol

Take care , stay positive and check your lungs lol

Don’t think you have Cancer or something bad. I’m sure it’s just an infection. Yes people think it’s something horrible but, mostly likely not. I do the same thing, but I trying my hardest not to think that way. Go see the dr. Take care❤️
