Hi
66 year old guy scared as coughed up red blood this morning about half teaspoon with phlegm
History
I have barratts oesophagus/ slight reflux controlled by one tablet of nexium per day
Last year I got into habit of violently clearing my throat when I get up by severe induced coughing to clear phlegm from odd cigarette day before
Stupid really
Had very small bit of blood on phlegm many months ago when doing this stupid clearing throat thing but nothing until again until this morning
Obiviously worried I have throat or lung cancer but hoping this stupid habit I have got into has just burst a blood vessel somewhere
Really need some help and advice on this please
