Hemoptysis...: Coughing blood is called hemoptysis and it is a serious symptom that always requires an evaluation by a doctor. The most common cause is bronchitis but malignancy can also cause this and it must be ruled out. So, if you have this symptom, see your doctor asap. If you are also short of breath, go to the er for evaluation. It may be the humidity in the shower is loosening up the sputum. See doctor.
