What Causes Weight Loss And Blood In Sputum?

Hello Dr, I have traces of blood with sputum only in the morning specially after brushing and coughing out. In rest of the days, there is no such problem. I have a little bit of breathing problem while ascending steep gradients and I ignored this since i am a habitual smoker with moderate frequency. But, what started me worrying me is that, during the last few months, my weight has gradually reduced. I will be grateful if you could suggest me some remedies for the same, thanks

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are unintentionally losing weight then it would be best to see your doctor for assessment.

It is possible that the weight loss is due to a benign (non cancerous) cause but it would be best to see your doctor.

You may need blood tests and imaging (chest x ray).

I hope this helps
