coughing blood cystic fibrosis

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.

The other causes could be due to Bronchitis or Cystic fibrosis. You will need to consult your doctor who may need to do a sputum culture and sensitivity to determine what antibiotic the organism is susceptible to. He may even ask for repeat blood test and an X ray. Lung function tests could further help in evaluation. In the meantime try to take warm oral fluids and do steam inhalations prior to your meals. This helps to loosen up and bring out the secretions.

The repeated respiratory tract infections mainly points towards immunodeficiency (selective IgA deficiency in his case), congenital heart disease and genetic disorder like cystic fibrosis. It is mandatory to rule out the cause and should be treated accordingly by conservative or definitive management. Treatment will be in the form of management of infection involving the lower respiratory tract.

if could be any of the following Blood clot in the lung Bronchiectasis Bronchitis Cancer Cystic fibrosis Goodpasture syndrome Inflammation of the blood vessels in the lung (vasculitis) Inhaling blood into the lungs (pulmonary aspiration) Irritation of the throat from violent coughing Nosebleed that drips blood down into the lungs Laryngitis Pneumonia Pulmonary edema Systemic lupus erythematosus Tuberculosis

I was told that because she had a negative test that she did not have cystic fibrosis. However, she had blood drawn yesterday for the genetic testing for cystic fibrosis. We will have the results in 2 weeks.

t hear a rattle), you advised me to get another xray and that my doctor would want to rule out cystic fibrosis, I had another xray and it concluded my lungs were clear, I am still coughing and still feel the rattle mentioned above, what do I do now? My doctor keeps mentioning athsma but you said it was unlikely since the rattle is in one lung only? Do you still think cystic fibrosis should be investigated? Should I be worried about cancer? Could it be allergies?

If there is any excess of salts then it can give a bitter taste. Excess salty sweat is found in cystic fibrosis. Symptoms are salty tasting or bitter skin, constant coughing or large amounts of mucus and respiratory difficulty. In absence of any other factor, I advise you to consult a physician and discuss the possibility of cystic fibrosis with him.

I am posting this in the hope others will finally find out what is wrong with them, after 11 years, I finally know what is wrong with me. I have had thick sticky mucus in my throat for years, what's worse, what I finally found out are called "mucus plugs". A solid mass in my throat, usually comes out my nose, but came up from my lungs. Sometimes these plugs come out, other days they would jam, get stuck in the back of my throat for a day or two.

The other causes could be due to Bronchitis or Cystic fibrosis. You will need to consult your doctor who may need to do a sputum culture and sensitivity to determine what antibiotic the organism is susceptible to.

In the meantime take OTC acetaminophen for the headache, try to take warm oral fluids and do steam inhalations prior to your meals.

On my twenty week scan it showed an abnormal bowel. Either Side effect of having an Amniocentesis at 13 weeks or cystic fibrosis. I'm absolutely scared stiff. At least two weeks before getting any results. Anyone else been through the same?

Your symptoms could also be due to COPD or Bronchiectasis. The other causes could be due to Bronchitis or Cystic fibrosis. You will need to consult your doctor.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Hi, welcome to the forum, if all other causes like respiratory tract infection, sinusitis etc. then another important possibility would be cystic fibrosis with predominantly respiratory involvement. But this needs to be evaluated in detail. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder. You need to undergo investigations such as Sweat chloride, Molecular diagnosis and Nasal potential difference measurements to rule out this condition. The treatment is usually symptomatic.

If there is any excess of salts then it can give a bitter taste.Excess salty sweat is found in cystic fibrosis.Symptoms are salty tasting or bitter skin, constant coughing or large amounts of mucus and respiarory difficulty. Did you apply any moisturizer beforehand?This can also cause bitter taste of skin.

It will come on for no reason and can be painful. Other times I cough ( I cough frequently, I have cystic fibrosis) and I get shooting pains as well. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if I just need more potassium or if its brought on by the coughing, but it occurs mostly in the evening hours. I've been very fortunate to have a mild case of CF and consider myself pretty healthy.

They saw something that he thinks could be cystic fibrosis. Im not really sure what that is. does anybody have children with this. Does it make it harder. Is it scarey?

Is there a cystic fibrosis test for baby while you're pregnant? I am 16w and had a dream that my doctor told me baby had it. It's weird cuz I'd never heard of that disease before my dream. I feel calm about it, but I just want to know if my dream is true or not!

- Nasal transepithelial potential difference (NTPD or NPD) testing can be used to assess the function of the cystic fibrosis gene product, a chloride channel called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Certain measurements are characteristic of CF. - Clinical genetic testing for CF looks for mutations in the CFTR gene that cause the condition.

There are many causes of chronic dry cough, but if you are specifically concerned about cystic fibrosis, your doctor can order sweat chloride test.

This could be cystic fibrosis (CF) or another inherited lung disease. Your daughter should be checked for these. Being told that "her immune system was shot" is a powerful statement. You have a right to ask her doctor what he/she meant by this and what test results, if any, back up that statement. You should definitely request consultation with a pediatric pulmonologist and at least resolve the issue of immunodeficiency.

There are different types of cystic fibrosis mutations in which some are worse than others. Cystic fibrosis has to do with the thickening of the mucous around the lungs, most can't digest their own food, they have trouble breathing and are put on different types of medication. As long as the doctors catch it in time, you shouldn't have a problem. Although there isn't a cure, they can keep it from getting worse or causing death.

My son is a month old now but was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when he was 2 weeks old. I am so heartbroken. But I want to know what to expect, and what I can do to make his life better. Please don't move this post to the cystic fibrosis forum, as nobody is on there and this is serious to me.

Hi Hun Iam a carrier for Cystic Fibrosis. My baby's father is not so it's not likely my son will have it. & correction she can't be a carrier for it. You can be only be the carrier meaning she may or may not have it.

what is cystic fibrosis. im 30 weeks tmw and found out im a carrier of cystic fibrosis. is this bad? please tell me. this does not help me think im worried and cant think of anything else.

Because if baby has cystic fibrosis the drs will need to plan for babies care accordingly. Such as having a nicu team ready and in the room ect. Its not abour knowing for abortion purposes. Also if you know you can start the paperwork for disability. Its always best to know. Then you can join a support group, research and be as prepared as possible.

Yesterday I got told that I am a career of cystic fibrosis should I worry.

I am afraid because I read that this is related to cystic fibrosis and now I think I have it. I also have other symptoms like post nasal drip, seasonal allergies and mucus stuck on my thoath. I also sweat a lot but my sweat is not very salty. My sister also the wrinkling hands. So my question is could I have atypical/cystic fibrosis or at least be a carrier and what is my life expectancy? My doctor says I'm too old to be diagnosed with this, I'm 25 years old.
