Hi, my name is rehana, im 37 years old, since November last year, i have been noticing specks of blood in phlem. I mentioned this to my GP whom prescribed me antibiotics over the periods of couple of months and steroids assuming it was a chest infection or Asthma related, this didn't really help and i carried on noticing blood especially on a morning when clearing my throat. I do suffer from LPR(silent acid reflux) aswell as sinus problems and postnatal drip and Asthma which is well controlled and i have a lot of allergies not to mention. Eventually i went back to my GP and explained to her that i want a referral to the respiratory team to further evaluate my symptoms which she did under the fast track referral. I had a chest xray ehich was normal a contrast CT scan which was normal but my respiratory consultant wanted to do a bronchoscopy to rule out any thing sinister. They carried out the bronchoscopy in February 2021 under sedation which was ok and not as unpleasant as i thought it would be. They did notice mild bleeding in my right bronchus upon coughing but no mucosal abnormality and was discharge back to my GP indicating nothing sinister found.
I'm still noticing specks of blood and still anxious to why this is happening, I have been referred to ENT and GI consultant to see if the bleeding was coming from any were else but that all came back normal.
I'M still worried something sinister is going on. Should i be reassured from the bronchoscopy? I just want some advise from someone. Sorry I'm new to this forum.
