what is the first and most important thing to do when a person starts coughing blood?
See a doctor or seek emergency care when coughing brings up a lot of blood, or any blood at frequent intervals. If the blood is dark and appears with pieces of food, go to a hospital immediately. This can indicate a severe problem originating in the digestive tract or lungs.
You should go see a doctor immediately you start seeing blood whenever you cough. Many potential causes. Infection and inflammation, bronchitis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Lung cancer, either metastatic disease or primary lung cancer. Problems with blood clotting causing blood clots in the lungs or causing bleeds in lungs. Heart failure causing buildup of blood fluid in the lungs. These are the more likely culprits. They’re plenty of other rarer things that lead to coughing blood.
