hemoptysis

Is there any of you that noticed an episode of hemoptysis within a few hours of PFT's or other hard physical activity.

I had an appt today. I wasn't feeling too bad but after my PFT's I was coughing a lot. (no hymoptosis) But then when I got home I was taking a walk and it started. Ironic that it happened on the day I went to clinic.

I haven't had hemopysis in over a year---even when I'm feeling sick I haven't had any.

Just wondering if you had the same experience ever.

my last episode of hemoptysis was the end of this july..i too was exerting myself. i was running through the neighborhood excersizing. normally when i do it (WHICH IS MANY TIMES A YEAR) it usually occurs around the time of my menstural cycle. so i know hormones trigger it, i guess by changing the flexibility of the blood vessels. but this last time it was not associated with it at all. i am also used to running without it doing it. i thought maybe it could have been the air quality that day that might have triggered it. you may have had a slow/trickeling bleed and when you exerted your lungs it just caused the vessel to fully burst. i never feel sick when i have hemoptysis either, and actually when i am very sick i dont do it... so strange! my docs always assume that hemoptysis means infection, so i would at least call them to get their input. i hope you dont have any more episodes, i know how frightening they can be! good luck, and God Bless!

My last episode was a few yrs back and it lasted for 5 weeks, I had to give myself shots of vitamin K it was a big one for sure and have not had one since. I don't think it had anything to do with infection as I was feeling good at the time, it woke me in them middle of the night and just came pouring out? and lasted and lasted. Still scares me 4yrs after the fact as it was so un expected. I always keep the vitmanin K on hand if and when it happens. Sometimes I get occassionally streaking withthe sputum I will add a K to the meds at that time.gy
