I'm having some troubling symptoms and wanted to see what you think. I've been experiencing a continuous cough for the past two months and occasionally when I sneeze or cough, I notice blood coming out from my mouth. On top of that, sometimes I have difficulty breathing. It's been worrying me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be something serious happening?

I'm really worried and need some advice. Every morning when I gargle and cough, I end up vomiting, and there's blood in it. It's like clear sticky sputum with blood streaks. This mainly happens when I force myself to vomit after coughing once or twice, and I get a bloody taste in my throat. But if I don't cough and just vomit voluntarily on an empty stomach, there's no blood, just clear sticky mucus. Is this what they call pseudohemoptysis? Could this be happening because of trauma from coughing too hard? What should I do?

Sputum for AFB and microscopy,x-ray chest pa view, complete blood count,esr and C-reactive protein is advised to the patient.

I recovered from COVID about three months ago and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to get the vaccine now. I've had a wheezing problem for the past decade and use Levolin Rotocaps every day. Could this be an issue with getting vaccinated? I'd really appreciate some advice.

I've been dealing with COVID for about a month now, and thankfully, it was mostly asymptomatic at the start. Lately though, I've been feeling this chest tightness or burning sensation, mainly in the evenings. Is this a normal thing to experience after having COVID, and what should I be doing about it?

That could be Gastritis,no need to worry avoid spicy foods visit Gastroenterologist for appropriate treatment.
