Help docs, is having just one symptom of coughing blood a sign of lung cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be: But is also seen with many other problems related to lungs and heart, sometimes as "simple" as a bronchitis. It should be evaluated, though. It can be something serious, especially if the patient is a smoker. Do you smoke? Hope not.... Best to you.
