I had no symptoms other than that I randomly coughed to clear my throat and I coughed up blood. That prompted me to get an x-ray and the whole diagnostic process began. I had hiked 7 miles the day before with no problem. When they did a scan, they said I had pneumonia, which was crazy because I had absolutely no symptoms. I had had pneumonia 10 months prior, and 10 years prior, but nothing else. I am grateful to have caught it early so I can do everything I can to prevent it from getting worse.

Coughing up blood is scary. My husband clears his throat constantly; I think he needs to be evaluated. Glad you caught this early. Do you have MAC?

That sounds almost exactly like my scenario. If I had not coughed up blood, I would likely have never known.. Best to all!
