Hello,
Coughing up of blood is a serious symptom and should be investigated. Asthma is unlikely to cause coughing up of blood. I suggest you to consult a pulmonologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations like CT scan of chest to know the exact cause of blood in cough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
