5Coughing Up Blood
In advanced cases when the blood clots are bigger in size, you might cough up blood. This condition is medically known as hemoptysis. It occurs when there is bleeding in the small or large airways of the lungs. Many people often describe the sign as spitting up blood-streaked mucus when they cough. Blood is usually mixed with phlegm from the lungs and tends to have a bubbly look. In most cases, hemoptysis is a serious symptom that indicates a very serious condition. Immediate medical attention is important to prevent further complications. [5]
