Coughing out black smoke
Common Questions and Answers about Coughing out black smoke
coughing
When I normally smoke a lot during the evening when I wake up I remove clear phlegm with a bit black or something. The reality is, that whatever rubish it is that is coming out of our lungs means that our lungs are not very clean and we should take this seriously. I understand and also suffer from smoking addiction but we need to use this as motivation to make us quit before its too late. On the other hand, you could only benefit if you ask your doctor about it.

So a few days pass of coughing up phlegm, and now I'm sitting here.. irritated... i had the chills last night, I woke up several times.. coughing and sweating just about everytime. My throat is killing me.. I don't cough up phlegm as often, its more of a dry cough now with some phlegm every now and then.
Syncope is the medical term for "passing out" and fainting or passing out with harsh coughing is not uncommon, whatever the cause of the cough. The cough may be due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but you should not assume that. If you smoke cigarettes or marijuana, that could be the cause. But, you should check out the cough with your doctor on this and, at least, have a chest x-ray. Most chronic coughs can at least be controlled, if not totally eliminated.
I smoked crack everyday for a year, almost $800$1000 a day habit. It's been over two years now since my last hit. About a year ago I started coughing up black phlegm, it's dark,not brown or red but black in clear phlegm. I can feel it comes deep from in my lungs, I had a chest X-ray and it showed some inflammation in one area but no growth.
For about five years now when I cough really hard I black out...today really scared the heck out of myself because I was on my motorcycle and while stopped at a red light I started coughing. Before I knew what was happening I started coughing and blacked out. As I was sitting on my bike I just fell over and the bike landed on top of me...a gentleman was behind me in his truck and immediately came to my assistance....when I came to...about 6 - 8 seconds I freaked out...
Has anyone experienced a really bad cough.I'm not sick and I don't smoke or anything.I am 21 weeks now,but I've been having this deep smokers cough every scene I've been pregnant.can anyone relate?
The black stuff is tar. It takes several months to get the tar out your lungs. And when you smoke, you stay sick much longer. I used to be a ciggarette smoker. I would stay sick for weeks and coughed up black stuff for about 3 or 4 months, even when I wasn't sick. My advice to you is to switch to electronic ciggarettes. The only chemical is nicotene. With the electronics, you can breath and function, and you don't smell bad. But you are fine.

I cough until I almost black out sometimes. In the past month it has gotten really thick, lotta phlegm! So I went back to the doctor and she treated me for asthma. Shocker, that treatment hasn't helped either. My brother and dad also had a bad cough when they were younger but I seem to have it the worst. So could this be something genetic? Any ideas? I'm going crazy here. Nothing helps.
and now sum times small specs of blood are getting coughed up only occasionally. an some times black flecks.

I have been coughing up black mucus for about 1 year or so now. I smoke cigarettes and I have had a puncutered lung about 20 years ago. Heart disease, and chronic bronchitis are on my mothers side of the family. and my mother has emphezema. I breath fine and feel fine. If I stop smoking will this clear up?
Same thing happened to me but it took about 3 months before my cough was loose and productive! I smoked for 38 years so maybe thats why? It will happen, trust me : )
Congrats on your quit and keep up the great work!
As I dont cough, I notice it the most right after a meal when the sputum comes up more (dont know why that is). I used to smoke heavily for 15 years but have currently quit and it is worse now than before. (I think nicotine keeps toxins in your lungs, so when you quit it comes up more however:
Apparently it is not tar, this was confirmed by a doctor. You couldnt possibly cough up that much tar.
