Coughing spasm w/blood in it when swimming in pool treated w/chlorine

Posted by pammie52 @pammie52, 23 hours ago

I’m on vacation and have been swimming in a pool treated with chlorine. Every time I do I start coughing up small red blood clots and/or sputum which has bright red blood mixed in it. I’ve been on Brinsupri since October. Has anyone else had this issue. Plan on talking with my Pulmonologist when I go home.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

Yes! I am not on Brinsupri. I now only walk in the pool, no actual swimming.

I have coughed a lot of blood maybe once or twice a year. I nebulize with 7% saline. When I do cough blood my Dr puts me on antibiotics for 10 days and it will stop the bleeding.. I have had bronchiectasis/MAC for over 5 years I exercise and do yoga postures to get rid of the mucus and most of the time it has worked for me.
