A member asked:
I shoveled snow this afternoon and coughed up some blood afterward i quit smoking 2 weeks ago and now am having shortness of breath what is wrong?

Go to the ER: Hemoptysis can be completely normal, particularly in dry, cold air. But I am very concerned about the shortness of breath. You need to be evaluated.
