A member asked:
Should i be worried if i just started coughing up black mucous? i also noticed black is coming out of my nose as well.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Black can be from old blood. Coughing up blood is never normal and can be a sign of serious problems in your lungs. It could be that you just have some bleeding in your nose and that is what you are coughing up. See your doctor for an evaluation to make sure there are no serious problems.
