Sore throad, spitting up blood after singing (or yelling, or anything straining my throat) - can anyone help?!
Question: Sore throad, spitting up blood after singing (or yelling, or anything straining my throat) - can anyone help.?
I'm really at the end of my rope, and doctors are giving me no answers.
My symptoms: I've posted on here in the past with these symptoms in relation to lung cancer (which luckily it turned out that it wasn't). Anyway, my main symptom was spitting up blood. This seemed to happen every so often after I would get done eating something. So I had an endoscopy done in April of this year which showed my esophagus was fine.
So, I went to a lung doctor and he ran some tests; XRay's and CT Scan of the chest (all came out fine) and I even had a bronchoscopy (in June of this year) done. Which of course turned out to be fine.
I noticed since having the bronchoscopy, I wasn't really spitting up blood anymore, at all. In fact, I just saw the lung doctor again yesterday, and told him everything was fine as far as the blood goes. He ran more xrays' and CT scans and said I was still looking good in the lungs.
The problem was today that a couple days ago, after months of not doing so. I noticed that the only thing I did during that time (that I normally don't do) is some singing. That seemed to irritate my throat, and I did kind of have a funny feeling there since doing that. Then today, in the mid afternoon (not even right after eating, like normal) I spit up some blood - just some in my saliva - say, two bright red specks.
So I'm wondering; is an extra sensitive throat a symptom of any kind of cancer.? I can't imagine that all people who sing (even if they don't do it very often) spit up blood after doing so. Yet, the act of singing (and even talking - and especially talking *loudly* to some degree) seems to bother my throat in a way that I can't imagine is normal.
So if anyone can give me advice, I'd really appreciate it. Basically I just want to know if this is "normal" - maybe I was straining my throat more than I *should* have been, but even so I can't imagine spitting up blood (even if it's not a lot) is normal. So could someone please tell me if this is something I should worry about or not.? What doctor should I go to next.? I've been to my family doctor, GI doctor(s),
Pulmonologist, and they all keep telling me I'm fine. Well if I am, then why does this keep happening.?
Thanks to any/all who answer. I always give out "best answer" rewards, just FYI! :)

Answers:
Singing and yelling does irritate your throat. I suggest you make an appointment with one of those "ears-nose-throat specialists" just to rule out a cyst or polyp near your vocal cords. The doctor will probably order a larynscopy to take a closer look at your throat (from experience, the procedure is painless). Good luck!Health Question & Answer
A few options:
- maybe wisdom tooth coming out. it can be the reason for blood.
- most likely - you sound having hypochondria. please go to a mental health doctor - a psychiatrist will help you deal with that.
- don't go to doctors! look how many xrays and CT scans you did and found nothing. BUT..you know what...UNFORTUNATELY you exposed yourself to radiation that can cause cancer and CT more dangerous than regular xray. those doctors who sent you couldn't care less about you that is why they exposed you to radiation they would never expose their family to. in fact they may have killed you 20 years from now. that's another reason i recommend you treat your hypochondria first.
- doctors can only expose you to toxic chemical (prescribe medicine) or radiation (prescribe xray/CT). who needs that.? I dont go to any doctor and those fake doctors who call themselves neutropathic doctors. you know what I do instead:
- excercise
- eat lots of fruits and vegetable
- eat fish
for me it's much better than doctors. I think it's a scam, doctors can;t really cure most serious diseases anyway. not don;t get me wrong - in extreme situations they help. for example if you brake a bone they can help. but really rarely rarely. Health Question & Answer
