Hello all,

I have been coughing up small amounts of blood and it happens more when I talk. I believe I got a vocal injury from screamo singing, but my doctor wants to rule out any chest issue. The thing is, I hack it rather than cough - as in, mucus (sometimes hard chunks) and/ or bits of bright red blood comes up from deep in my throat and I just slide it up through hacking. The reason I am saying all this, is because I want to ask people here who know it's from their chest - do you only ever COUGH the blood? Or does it ever feel like it's coming from your throat and you don't need to cough but rather 'hack' or throat-snort it out?
