Coping With Hemoptysis

I’m a pretty healthy person. I don’t smoke either. I woke up to go to work, everything normal same as usual. Not sick or feeling sick but as i was 5 minutes into driving to work i had an urge to clear my throat and when i did, i tasted fresh blood. I freaked out and decided to take the next exit out and go home. by the time i arrived home it was getting to a point where i could feel and hear the blood in my lungs.

i had to cough every few seconds to spit out tablespoon full of blood. it was bright red. my sister called 911 and we headed out to the hospital.

long story short, they thought it was a collapse lung, but it wasn’t. and the thing is that i was able to breath okay with a just a little pressure. my vitals were all fine. they couldnt find anything wrong with me.

but the thing was that it was ALOT of blood, atleast a cup of blood by the time from home to the hospital. the ambulance people even gave me a bucket to cough it into.

after catscans, TONS of blood drawn, all they could tell me that it was quite weird cuase i was not sick.

so now i have to wait for the test results to come in. the docs are “assuming” maybe pneumonia OR lupus OR some sort of bacteria infection……

to be continued…..
