Why Am I Spitting Blood And Feeling Dizzy With Chest Pain ?
I've been spitting blood for the last 3 weeks. I notice it when I wake up,after I smoke or after doing some activity like walking during the day. Sometimes the blood looks dark brown but lately it's bright red. I did stick a wad of paper in my mouth to see if it's coming from my teeth/gums and noticed at times it it,but other times it's hard to tell whether it is coming from my teeth or from my throat. I started rinsing with Hydrogen Peroxide to see if that would help and noticed the bleeding stops temporarily after I rinse with the peroxide,but this morning the bleeding started again even after I rinsed. Just around half an hour ago I spat some fresh blood but this time I felt dizzy. I don't see my doctor til tomorrow. Also having little chest pains....At times I would have to stretch out my back and then I feel a pop in my chest and then the pain goes away temporarily. What should I do? Please help. -Isabella

In my opinion you should consult pulmonologist 1st and get done atleast chest x ray.the symptoms you are telling like bloody sputum and chest pain with fever can be seen in pneumonia and TB. So better to get done chest x ray. Avoid excessive coughing take antihistamines like levocetrizine for cough suppression.
