[|Human|] Hi. I ve been coughing up streaks of blood since February. It comes and goes nothing major maybe once a week that s it. My tongue is discolored a little and has white patches on both sides. And my throat constantly feels like something is stuck. I ve been extremely week and fatigued. I ve had bleeding for 3 yrs now through bowl movements and vomiting but both have just disappeared since I started coughing it up. Two and a half yrs ago I was diagnosed with anemia but found nothing through upper and lower GI. I went to a doc 2 weeks ago and he didn t check much but said now I don t have anemia but he thinks its insomnia. Can anyone help me and give me an idea if there s something I can take to get rid of all of these or what test I should have done to figure out what is going on?
[|AI|]  Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having bleeding tendency. And for this we need to first rule out platelet function abnormalities. Platelets are blood cells, help in prevention of bleeding. So better to consult hematologist and rule out platelet related disorders. Another possibility is lung related diseases. Hemoptysis (coughing out blood) is seen in following lung conditions.1. Tuberculosis2. Pneumonia3. Bronchitis4. Cancer. So consult pulmonologist and get done chest x-ray and CT thorax to rule out all these causes.
