@bayarea58 So sorry you had to go through that right after your birthday celebration. When I coughed up blood in 2024, I was just dipping in the water and floating, not even swimming which spread out the lungs. It just happened and had to get out from the pool. Some say if you stretch out your lungs during exercise, it can bleed too. I have no idea. I hope no more bleeding for you.

@sweethighland yes, I have read about stretching the lungs causing hemoptysis. We were swimming and frolicking in the pool all day. Lots of play. But I am very active generally so hard to say. Though at my age I am definitely able to move my body in water in ways I can no longer move it on land. 🤣🤣🤣. Perhaps it was the endless backward flips in the pool that triggered the bleeding.
