This aint no cold or flu ive ever had, I feel like Im dieing.
Symptoms: horrifically painful cough excessive thick glue like green phlegm difficulty breathing light headedness pain swallowing bloody cough / sinuses fluid in lungs wheezing
Ive had a harsh cough for a long time but recently started working in an environment with many dust and other particles floating around. Over the past week since ive worked there ive gotten worse and worse to the point of coughing up blood and barely being able to breathe. Im going to go to the doc, but which of these do you think it is more likely to be?
- Pneumonia
- Tuberculosis
- Bronchitis
- Emphysema
- Cancer
- asthma

well ive seen asthma up close and can assure you it does not make you cough up blood.
i dont know about the symptoms of the other things you posted but i know for a fact that coughing up blood is a symptom of both pneumonia and tuberculosis, do you know if you were vaccinated for tb in the past?
also because you mention the air quality at your job that could be contributing, tb is a bacterical infection if im not mistaken, pneumonia can also be bacterial but i think there are different strains.
also it could just be from the particles in the air, i made the mistake of sanding a bookcase without a mask once and was coughing up fine wood particles for like a week. mind you i only breathed it in for about 10 or 15 minutes.

I once came down with the whooping cough, the cough was so consecutive that i could not breathe. I was coughing up blood but that was because i had swelling and bleeding from my esophagus. The persistence of the cough is what drove me insane. You should really go to the doctor STAT.

Sorry to hear the news, thats a bummer man.
I've had a lung disease my whole life, so I know how bad it can feel when your lungs decide to make life a little more difficult.
I have a cheap vaporizer, the Vapir. It's no Volcano, but it's a lot easier on the lungs than bongs or pipes. I personally try not to smoke out of anything thats at least not water filtered.
Good luck getting better man.

Last December I got whooping cough for the second time in my life. The first time I got it I had been coughing for 6 months. Last December I got anti-biotics for it and was smoking pot for the first 2 weeks. I had to do a nebulizer treatment after every bowl. For 2 weeks I was "puffing on some medicine, puff on some other medicine" xD.
Should DEFINITELY get a vaporizer, or at least just do edibles. Using a bubbler in my experience makes it easier to hit.
Hope you get better!
