Overview
Patients with hemoptysis may have a positive history of upper respiratory tract infection, gastrointestinal disease, exposure to patients with tuberculosis, bleeding disorders, medications (anticoagulants), and cigarette smoking. Common symptoms of hemoptysis include bloody sputum, chronic cough, shortness of breath, pleuritic chest pain, and wheezing. Less common symptoms of hemoptysis depends on the etiology include weight loss, change in cough, fatigue.
