Lately, whenever my bf coughs, he has been coughing up blood! Also, when he blows his nose, there is blood present also. I know this is a situation where he should see a doctor, but I just thought that I would write today while at work and see if anyone had any ideas as to what this may be. (I'm MAKING him go to the doctor when he gets home from work!!!)
Thanks for any ideas :-)

Good job for making him go to the doctor. The blood could be from many things, but the only one I can think of is an ulcer. (My grandfather had the same problem and is hospitalized for it now.) Make sure that he recieves the care that he needs.

hi hopefully your man is sorted out now my neighbour was having the same symptoms and it was real bad ulcers in his throat causing it

It sounds like it could be an ulcer but I wouldnt take a guess, make him go to the doctor right now, dont delay! Hope all is well,
Take care

I sure hope he went to a Dr by now? If he's really coughing, then it can't be an ulcer. It is a lung problem like pneumonia or even TB. It could just be really bad allergies too. Was the blood bright red? That could just mean an irritation in there causing him to bleed. Hope it all came out ok and he is much better!!
