... I'm hoping someone has an idea of what's going on. For the past couple months, I have been "pulling up" phlegm that has occasionally has fresh blood in it (hocking loogies in terms that I am more likely to use). I see the blood maybe only one time per day, and if I try to replicate it, there is never blood the second or third time I try to pull something up. I do not and have not had a cough, which is what any information I have found online seems to relate to. I have had issues with nosebleeds for a long time, and this seems to be my most likely cause - or possibly that I'm having so much trouble with phlegm that I am breaking tiny blood vessels in my throat.
Are there any other ideas out there or has someone else seen this? If it was something I could reproduce frequently I would have already seen a doctor, but the fact that I only see it about once a day means that I almost certainly wouldn't be able to recreate it in my GP's office anyway. As always, any input is appreciated. Thanks!
