Showering hot water can cause coughing blood?

No.: It might trigger it, but there has to be a disease going on to produce that. See your dr.

Hi. At times late during the evening (after 9:30/10:00) I will notice that I can spit up blood in my phlegm, NOT coughing or coughing blood. If I swirl water and then go to bed, Thank God it typically goes away. What could possibly be causing this?
