Coughing blood: Go to an urgent care center and get a chest xray and an eam by a doctor. It is probably bronchitis, and you will need prescription medication to get better. You need and xray to make sure you dont have pneumonia or any other problems. Call 911 if you are having trouble breathing.

See a Dr right away: There are some things in life that can wait - sprains, strains, constipation.l - however difficulty breathing is NOT one of them. If you have pneumonia, asthma, TB or anything else that is making it difficult to breathe you should treat that as your #1 priority! 3 most important things are your ABCs (abacavir) (airway, breathing and circulation!). Get well soon!
