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've been dealing with some issues ever since I had pneumonia back in 2013. I'm still using a corticosteroid inhaler, and every time I try to stop, I end up with wheezing sounds in my lungs and a persistent cough. I'm really wondering if my lungs will ever get back to normal after having pneumonia that one time. Is using the corticosteroid inhaler something I'm going to have to do for the rest of my life? Are there any other remedies or advice you could suggest?

Seroflo inhaler sos is advised to the pt for wheezing.
