I would most definitely go to the doctor's office. In fact, I was watching a show called Untold Stories of the E.R. and this man's wife brought him there because he was coughing up blood like crazy. The doctor's didn't know what to do. They tried many exams but couldn't find out what was wrong with him. So then, I believe they did a Cat-Scan and found a like thumbtack lodged in diaphragm ( i think so ). It turns out that he had a thumbtack in him and that is what was causing it. Of course, I doubt that is what is wrong with you, but to be on the safe side I would just go to the doctor's office and get a check-up. Best of luck to you! I hope you feel better soon.
