Specializes in Pediatrics

Possibly TB: Calcified nodes in chest indicate old TB, but blood in sputum is indicative of active disease. The doctor needs to examine you and take a complete history , review available XRays, CT and lab results for a proper diagnosis and recommend a regimen of treatment that should take care of this. Your family members need to be tested and treated as needed. Congestive Heart failure needs to be ruled out.
