Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Since you were a smoker from last 4 years that too heavy smoker.
Blood in phlegm i.e.expectoration , cough , sore throat, weakness anxiety, dizziness.
The tension of blood in phlegm develops dizziness, weakness .
However cough, , phlegm with blood may be due to ,
1 Septic pharyngitis i. e. sore throat ,
2 tuberculosis,
3 broncogenic carcinoma.
X ray chest with M R I can confirm diagnosis , if any , for this you should consult a physician and get his opinion.
Smokers cough is another cause .
Get in examination of phlegm in lab.for A F B ( tuberculosis).
Good luck.
Dr. HET
