Pulmonary embolism: Coughing up blood occurs in some patients with pulmonary embolism. Treatment, if any, is determined by the amount of blood, and whether it continues, whether there are other concerns about the underlying lung, and is considered along with the blood thinners used to treat the blood clot in the lung.
