A member asked:

My friend his blood is really thick. he gets blood in cough and waste. gets tired easily. head aches. chest pain sometimes. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop advil (ibuprofen): First off, stop the advil (ibuprofen) if there is blood in the stool. There is probably a stomach ulcer or inflammation. Your friend needs followup to look if really blood while coughing and a workup for this. Could all be related but needs followup.
