I have severe strep throat. woke up today with a horrible headache, coughing up blood and tightness in chest. should i go to er?

Yes: If you are coughing up frank blood (not just mucus tinged with blood) and you have significant chest tightness (especially if accompanied by respiratory difficulties) - that would be appropriate. Take care.
