Have MAC and coughing up blood

I've also coughed up blood a couple of times. Most recently, just before Christmas. It just seems to bubble up. I hadn't been coughing excessively prior to it happening. Although I know it is a symptom of Bronchiectasis, it's still a scary thing when it happens, and, I still get very nervous! I went to my Dr. the next day just so he can check my lungs and so he's aware of when it happens.

I have also coughed up blood several times in the past 3 years. I can relate to the fact that it bubbles up as well and I know immediately that I am going to cough up blood. The beginning of January I had to go to the emergency room due to coughing up of blood. I find it so scary at times. Stayed in the hospital about 3 days and was treated with intravenous antibiotics. Bleeding stopped and was diagnosed with pneumonia for the second time in a number of years. They gave me cipro to take 2 times a day for 10 days. Going to see a pulmonologist the beginning of February. Never know when I will get another infection. Always in the top of my mind. Try not to think about this but it is always there none the less. Wish everyone a good evening and most of all a healthy life. Sher
