So, this morning I noticed I had thick yellow sputum with some blood in it, but it only happened once and I haven't had any other symptoms. I'm kinda worried about what might be going on. Is this something serious, or could it just be a random thing? What should I be doing or watching out for?

I'm getting this wheezing sound when I breathe in, and my pulmonologist had me do a PFT and FENO test. The FENO test results show 58, which is apparently severe, but I'm not an asthma patient. The PFT shows 72. Should I be worried about how serious this is? Do I need to take any specific precautions? I'm currently using Symbicort 320 twice a day.
