I can understand that you're terrified. Coughing up bright red blood is scary. I'm tagging @sweethighland and @irenea8 as they understand first hand.
As you have posted, your fear of hemoptysis is taking control of your life. Have you considered talking to someone about the anxiety that this condition induces? It might help to work with someone or use CBT (cognitive behavioral training) to get beyond the paralyzing fear. What do you think?

I feel like nothing will take away the fear that has taken control of me, but I will research if there is anyone in my area who could handle this and who might take Medicare and supplement. Sadly money is an issue and I am guessing this would be expensive. Thank you for your help and I think it would help me to talk with the people you tagged so I really hope to hear from them. Thank you again.
