Had a heavy cough w/ bloody musuc over 1 yr now. gets worse when on my back. had ct xray & tb tests done. no results. not bronchitis. ?

Bronchitis, maybe: The stuff you cough up is of concern. Bloody mucous may be a sign of pneumonia, as well as other things such as cancer etc. it is best you get the results of those tests and begin your treatment as soon as possible .best talk to your doctor
