Have you ever aspirated a foreign body ?!
Question: Have you ever aspirated a foreign body !?
I think I aspirated a small piece of turkey the other night!. I coughed up a fair amount of blood last night and have been having chest pains!. I saw a doctor this morning!. He kind of shrugged me off and referred me to a GI doctor!.
He did say that if this happened again that I should go to the ER!.
I've been looking stuff up on the net and I have officially freaked myself out over this!.
Any experiences welcomed!. Please only serious answersWww@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Definitely not a nice feeling!
More than likely that little piece of turkey has irritated your lungs while it was down there!.
By fair amount of blood, are you talking some spots on a tissue, or more!?
A small amount could be put down to irritation, but more could mean a variety of things!.
Keep an eye on your temperature, and look out for chills, or feeling feverish!.
If you start to feel short of breath, or get a really tight feeling chest - to hospital with you!
Hope you feel better soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. Someone that smoked too many cigars and marijuana, cough up a piece of tissue that looked strange enough to be called a foreign body!. We took this person to the hospital & come to find out it was a small piece of his lungs and a lot of mucus around it!. Don't do drugs or smokeWww@Answer-Health@Com
