I've been waking up the past couple of mornings feeling like my throat is really blocked, and when I cough, there's some blood. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to feel better?

I'm waking up with a really weird sensation, like there's something rubbery or mucus-like stuck in my throat or behind my voice box. I've had post-nasal drip before and even saw an ENT specialist about it. I don't have any allergies. I had a CT scan a couple of months ago, and it showed minimal mucosal thickening in my right maxillary sinus. I also used a Netipot for about a week. Now, I'm dealing with some nasal obstruction. Could this obstruction be the reason for the rubbery mucus feeling?

I'm really worried about my brother. He was sleeping, and suddenly woke up with a sore throat. When he tried to cough, blood started coming out and it wouldn't stop for over an hour. It was pretty scary. Then, the same thing happened again after a week. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?
