Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I would come up with these possibilities for this blood with cough , these includes.
1 As there is a long history of smoking , so may be due to cancer of lungs.Diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest and M R I of lungs.
2 Tuberculosis , diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest and sputum ( mucus ) examination with blood examination.
3 Gingivitis or pyorrhea , diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by an E N T specialist .
4 Bleeding disorder is one of the most prominent cause , but in your case this is a least possible reason .
Visit the dentist first for check up and your problem continue then go for complete haemogram .and them consult physician.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
