A member asked:
Is it normal to spit up blood when you are on oxygen permanently?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Two common possibilities - you have an infection or the oxygen is drying out your mucous membranes causing bleeding - ask your prescribing doctor if you can get a humidifier for the oxygen at least part of the time.
