irritation of the throat from violent coughing, blood clot in the lung, bronchiectasis, bronchitis, cancer, cystic fibrosis, inflammation of the blood vessels in the lung, nosebleeds, pneumonia, tuberculosis or inhaling blood into the lungs. Are there any other signs or symptoms present? Chest x-ray, complete blood count and complete medical and physical examination is needed to help with the diagnosis.

iam just geting over pneumonia and i have started getting joint pain.

I had chest X-ray last week which confirmed pneumonia. I had told dr I had been coughing up blood for several days and they asked if it was streaked and I said yes. I saw a description on a web page using the description of looking like a partially scrambled egg and that is what it really looked like, not really streaked but kind of mixed. Now I have been on 500 mg Cipro for 4 of 7 days prescribed but still am coughing up same type of blood mixture.

Sounds like you may have pneumonia and coughing up red blood is a cardinal sign of strep penumonia, this is the strain that can kill you and is the one you get vaccinated against every 5 years. Given your age, if the dr. makes a diagnosis of pneumonia you will be hospitalized for treatment (its standard protocol for anyone over 60), your also going to need to get a chest xray. In the mean time it's a good idea to take a break from smoking pot.

I have swallowing disorders that put me at risk for aspiration pneumonia. Are there any tests that can be done to differentiate the type of pneumonia? I have had several xrays done on my chest and was put on antibiotics.

Me too no blood, maybe floating rib syndrome is what doc told me, same pains but not coughing up blood, back spasm, lung hurts when coughing.

Pneumonia (may have turned out to be viral instead of Bacterial) Of special note however: a week before i even coughed up the blood streaked saliva, a friend complained of the same, but of lesser quantity, then after a week of treatment, another friend was going through similar spitting out blood. Bronchitis (is it possible to get this right after Pneumonia) Post Nasal Drip Irritated Sinuses etc.

Upon release I developed a post infection wheeze which was treated with 7 days of prednisolone. My O2 sats are 99 and blood pressure etc normal - x ray showed normal with no pneumonia. However, I am troubled with chest pain which is there all the time but worse through the night and when I wake in the morning. paracetamol does not seem to help much. Dr gave me a preventor and a reliever inhaller and said I may be asmatic now - the pain in my chest area is scary as it never really goes.

I was feeling pretty bad coughing wheezing, bad chest pain. My friend and I diagnosed it as brochitis or pneumonia so I took 7 Levaquin, one a day for 7 days (had it in the house). Still felt bad after a week or so and went to my doctor who prescribed same Levaquin 500 mg for 7 days. My doctor ordered chest xrays and blood work. Blood work was just a little off she said not sure what was high or low as this was told to me over the phone.

and a lack of air movement in my lower left lung. She diagnosed me with community acquired pneumonia. I was prescribed Robitussin with codeine to help me sleep, although all it really did was tire me slightly. After another week of feeling completely miserable I started to breath better, my nose dried out, and my cough produced less and less green mucus. Sleeping then was hard, but I was able to take my meds, settle down, sleep for about two hours, wake up again from coughing and repeat.

I was diagnosed with pneumonia 6 weeks ago. I was on oral antibiotics for 2 days, then admitted with an IV drip for 3 days (levifloxacin, as I'm allergic to penicillin-based drugs) then given a 5 day course of oral clarithromyacin. I rested for 2 more weeks after finishing the antibiotics but was still coughing yellow mucus and feeling tired with moderate/mild activity.

Hi, I'm 21 years old, male at around 65 kgs. My girlfriend is of the age (more on this later) I just have a few questions regarding pneumonia, and how easily (or difficult) it is transmitted in healthy young adults. Context: My girlfriend's aunt recently got hospitalized due to pneumonia, and my girlfriend has been taking care of her for about 3 days now. Now this may sound stupid and selfish, but my concern is her and me catching pneumonia too.

Has anyone experienced really bad coughing during treatment? My boyfriend developed terrible coughing the first week of treatment. It's not a dry cough, he brings up copious amounts of flem/mucous. When he first started treatment, he noticed the coughing attack usually began about one hour after his ribavarin dose. This went on throughout his six month tx, some days worse than others.

The pneumonia can cause inflammation well after the bacteria is gone. The inflammation can cause pain Another factor is the coughing and puking which can cause the muscles in between your ribs to become sore. It is important to monitor your temp to see for fever. What colour is the sputum that you are cough up. Is it yellow or green? Obviously if you are not sure or worried go back to the hospital. Are you short of breath?

I have asthma and had been coughing a good bit and felt something in my chest so went to my asthma Dr and I was told on Junuary 19th that I have pneumonia after having an x-ray done. They put me on Biaxen and on the 21st had me go for blood work. On the 23 tests showed that I had a drug induced hepatitis from what they thought was the Biaxen. They admitted me to the hospital for these two things that day. I was released on the 25th.

I hope you start feeling better real soon!! Coughing up blood can be a sign of pneumonia!! Not sure what the difference between pneumonnia and a lung infection is. But either way sounds serious. Take care of yourself and get some rest. Glad at least now you know what you're dealing with!!

My cat recently was spayed. Next morning she was coughing (like hairball cough). No fever. Not eating. She was put on pencillin. She is still coughing 3 days later and is barely eating. Could she have aspiration pneumonia and was this caused by the anesthesia? Should I worry?

my latest cbc shows co2 in my blood .i have been coughing a white mist for a long time now.i have lost much of my hearing .my nose itches like there is poison ivy in it .it started with an infection in my throat.then my ears started popping.then i lost 15 db of hi frequencies in hearing every six months for 2 years.everyone i shake hands with develops similar symptoms including the white foamy spit and throat infection.also it includes the double ear infection that we all get.

I went to the doctor 3 days ago after having shortness in breath and chest pain with rapid heartbeat, nothing else no cough, high fever or sneezing. But I did get a horrible cough a month and half prior. I didn't go see a doctor and rode it till cugh went away by itself . BIG MISTAKE. The doctor took an xray and diagnosed me with pneumonia.

Treated for bronchitis twice at holidays and still coughing and clearing my throat. Now have left side rib discomfort. Taking Prilosec as dr said maybe refux. Nothing seems to help. Chest xray clear. Blood work was good. What should I do next? I'm at my wits end and worried. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed!
