Hi Tykissy, all my life I have suffered with undiagnosed sleep apnea, the resulting consequences boggle my mind. In 2007, I had a sleep study and have been on CPAP and now APAP, I truly believe due to all my respitory problems it's keeping me alive.
The 1st time I had blood in the morning I cleared my throat and spit the plug in the sink I was alarmed. The next morning same thing, I went to my ENT, 1st Dr. available he ran a scope down thru my nose. no problem. I asked for a 2nd opinion, same thing. Next stop my pulmonologist and a CT scan, a mass growing on my left upper lobe , next a needle biopsy, cancer.
Your body js trying to tell you something, get help from a doctor!
