So I wake up this morning and notice this little brown spot on my pillow... I think of a few things it could be and then move my head to check out the rest of the pillow and there I find a huge bloody spot. Ah man.. I was not happy.. so I started feeling my ears to see if it came from there.. no. Felt the rest of my face and felt most some crustiness all over my cheek and chin. So yeah.. bla bla.. after a few minutes I realize the blood came from my lungs and I was spitting crazy amounts.. it just wouldn't stop. Although I wasn't in any kind of pain.. I knew I had to see a doctor 'cause dammn.... it was some freaky shit. Ended up getting an xray of my lungs and they turned out fine.. doctor said it's probably just an infection or a sign of pneumonia or bronchitis and that I shouldn't worry too much, considering my young age. If the problem really was an infection.. I have my suspision of what caused it; 2 nights ago some friends and I had a gravity bong.. but instead of a bowl we used a joint. Result was a 2L with about 1-1.5g and 2 papers. The smoke was harsh as fuck and the weirdest part was there was absolutely no smoke when we exhaled... sketchy. hanyways... I think I'll live.. I stopped spitting blood since the doctor's and I still feel fine. I've decided to quit everything.. but vaporizing. what do you guys think.. should I quit every everything? or does vaping sound like a reasonable idea?
do whatever you feel duder.. there's been a few occasions where i woke up coughing up blood.. it happens
Ooh.. I'll definitely do what I feel.. but second opinions are always good. Seriously.. coughing blood seems more common than it should be.. first time I did I was freaking out.. but then I learned quite a few of my friends have been there too.. so yeah.. doesn't seem too bad.
when it happens on a regular basis.. then there is gonna be problems.. but like your doctor said.. it was probably just an infection... dry weather always seems to be the time i'll cough up blood
ahah.. yeah.. that's what the doctor told me. But it doesn't. Happened twice before and it was really nothing. It's just whatever happened this morning was the most blood I've ever spat and it wasn't the same kind of blood spitting.. this morning it was all just blood.. compared to the two other times which where only phlegm + blood.
it might not have been the weed. i used to cough up blood way before i started smoking, and strangely have not coughed up any blood since i started smoking *knock on wood*
yea.. usually when i did end up coughing up blood it was usually from a night of drinking and smoking like 2 packs of cigs in a night
Did you use tap water in the Gravity Bong? Does the water in your area taste of Chlorine? It sounds like a light chemcial burn. The tissues in your lungs are very sensitive to cleaning chemicals and if you were exposed to somthing like that it could cause symtoms like that.
I've done this twice the past month. Going to the doc next week, shit has me buggin. Always heard if you chunk up blood its a sign of a stomach ulcer. That would be full of fail.
Its kinda weird that a lot of people find it semi-normal to cough up blood....that shit sounds scary!
yeah.. tap water was used.. but the water in my area tastes pretty fine really... and coughing up blood could be a sign of many many things. In my case, I'm almost certain the blood was coming from my lungs.
for the record, when i first clicked this thread, i was expecting/hoping to see a british person saying "Someone took a shit in my bloody pillow!"
it could have been a nose bleed that went through your mouth. one time my friend had a nose bleed and he snorted it back in and barfed it out his mouth, there was blood everywhere. disgusting lol. It probably wasn't that..... I just wasnted to say that though lol
