Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since you are alcoholic and smoker, spitting of blood can originated from either lungs or stomach.
Smokers damage their lungs and can develop bronchitis or infection or malignancy. And coughing of blood (hemoptysis) can be seen in all.
Similarly alcohol damage liver and stomach. Can cause gastric ulcer and cirrhosis. And vomiting of blood (hemetemesis) can be seen in both.
So better to consult doctor and get done
1. Chest x ray
2. Ultrasound examination of abdomen
3. Upper GI Scopy.
And quit smoking and alcohol as soon as possible. Both are not good for health. They will only harm you.
