Is pulmonary bleeding dangerous?

It could be: Small amount of bleeding are controllable. More significant amounts are much more challenging, possibly life threatening.

Depends on cause: Pulmonary bleeding has many causes and the cause of the bleeding needs to be established. The danger lies in the causes and less so in the bleeding itself. More important is what the bleeding is telling you about what is going on in your lungs.
