I've been noticing something concerning over the past month. Every morning, I start coughing up blood, and then it begins to come from my nose too. The blood's dark red, kind of like a clot. I'm not dealing with a sore throat or any weakness, but it's worrying. Could this be serious?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's 64 and has been diagnosed with moderate COPD. We just started her on treatment, but I can't stop thinking about how this is going to affect her life expectancy. She also has high blood pressure. Can you give me any insights on what we should expect moving forward?

My dad was diagnosed with sarcoidosis after a prostate biopsy, and he had a high ACE level. He's been on 32 mg of prednisolone for about two months now, but we haven't noticed any improvement. He's also taking clarithromycine, forcan, and augmentin because of high neutrophil counts. Im really concerned and just wondering, does it sound like hes on the right treatment plan? Any advice would be really appreciated.

yes the treatment is correct
