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.

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!Health Question & Answer

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 smokeHealth Question & Answer
