Coughing up dark blood

I can’t see a doctor for various reasons. I coughed up about a liter of thick dark blood in the last two days. Also can’t sleep due to the coughing and have headaches and bloodshot eyes.

    Don't worry, it will all be over soon. Leave a note telling everyone that your corpse is not an object.

      Crude... but if OP doesn't get the message after that, when will he/she?

        This has to be a troll post. You only have 4 to 6 liters of blood in your body. If you lose 2 liters you are dead. It takes 4 to 8 weeks to fully replace the red blood cells in your body. So if the OP loses a liter of blood every other day, at a rate that they noted, they will be dead within a week. Do the math. And since the OP never responded, they are either dead or they are a troll.

    Well, you better ignore those "various reasons" and find one anyway.

    If you live in the U.S, go to the ER, they wont make you pay upfront because they have to treat you if something is visibly wrong; they cant turn you away.

    You'll develop a small amount of medical debt, but your life is more important and you can pay that debt anytime.

      That’s just insane how Americans need to worry about going into debt when getting sick.

        Yeah, it's really easy to fall into debt here, and some of us have no choice in emergency situations like this.

    Don't worry, let me just perform surgery on you OVER THE INTERNET!!!

    Go to a doctor you muppet! Also I do question your ability to make neat iin posts, after losing over a liter of blood and only having a headache as a side effect. The average human body has about 4.5 to 5.5 liters of blood (5 for easier math).

    So you've lost roughly 1/5, or 25 percent of your blood. Or so much that you start pass out. You'd also have pale skin, lower body temperature, feel nauseous, drowsy and you'd have rapid breathing.

    I've coughed up or spit blood when i've had sinusitis.
    There could also be other reasons... Like a stomach ulcer... Or something worse... You should see a doctor.

    Considering you only have between 4-6 litres of blood I highly doubt it. Maybe you puked and there was blood in your puke. That's happened to me before after a huge bender.

    If you cough up red blood, you're in serious trouble, dark blood is usually from you nasal cavities. Either way, see a Doctor!
