A member asked:
Is it possible for you to cough so much that you cough up tissue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Chronic, forceful coughing will cause some of the mucous membranes to tear and you may cough up flecks of blood as well sometimes more. The tissue would be from your bronchi and trachea most likely not lung.
