Default What would you do if you started coughing up blood?

What would you do? My lungs felt really weird last night like there was lead in the top portion of them, and I couldn't take a full deep breathe. Woke up this morning and it was still the same, and now when I cough I get chunks of yellowish ---- coming out of my lungs and they've got blood all over them. Hospital time? I feel fine otherwise. I have insurance but I hate going to the hospital, that ---- sucks.

I'm the same way Marcus, although I cut down my smoking a lot the past 2-3 years. It was weird though, I felt fine all day yesterday until I got home.

fact: hospitals cannot refuse treatment

fact: it is not a crime to change your name at any time

fact: you can change your name for the purpose of getting treated for free.

the con side to that is you cant get the perscribed pain killers

That's what I really want to work on. I've quit 3 or 4 times before for a while, usually around 6 months or so, but then I get sucked back in. All my friend's smoke, my fiance' smokes, my co-workers, etc.
I'm not coughing up a lot of blood, just phlegm that has spots of it through it. I could be getting something like bronchitis, but I'd rather know for sure. I'm going to give it a few hours at least and see what happens.
