I have a tight feeling in my chest and it feels heavy like something is in it or on it. I was coughing a little blood for about 3 weeks but it totally stopped. I still cough but not really severely. Sometimes it feels like if I could cough up something it would feel better. The cough is productive, but not completely.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You are having hemoptysis (blood in sputum) with chest heaviness and tightness. All these are commonly seen in bronchitis, lung infection and lung cancer. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system, chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). Chest x-ray is needed to rule out lung infection and cancer. PFT is must for the diagnosis of bronchitis. You may need to, inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. Quit smoking if you are smoker. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
