[|Human|] I woke up unable to swallow. I have bad chest pain & have been seeing blood in my spit. I didnt eat all day & when i finally did I threw up & there was more blood in it. My throat is burning & my nose is stuffy. Is this just a cold or should i go to the hospital?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum). Chest pain with hemoptysis is seen in following conditions. 1. Tuberculosis 2. Pneumonia 3. Lung cancer 4. Chronic bronchitis So better to consult pulmonologist and get done 1. Clinical examination of respiratory system 2. Chest x-ray 3. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out tuberculosis, pneumonia and lung cancer. PFT is needed to rule out chronic bronchitis. You are also having dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing), so upper GIs copy is also needed to rule out any esophageal pathology. So don't wait at home, better to consult doctor and discuss all these.
