Respiratory Diseases

ok, so i have a bunch of symptoms for bulimia and also anorexia, so im guessing all of the vomiting is the root of the problem. no one knows about my "eating disorder" except for me, but my best friend is really suspicious. last night i asked how to stop my bad habits and such, and i had an epiphany and vowed to change my life. hahaha. i must have done that 20 times since all of this started. but tonight it got kind of serious. really serious i guess. after i threw up tonight, i tasted a lot of blood and i coughed up a good bit of it. im really scared and i want to know what this is from and why and ahhh. i guess i need to talk to someone, but im really scared to tell my mom. she'll make me stop dancing because she thinks that it has a negative impact. i know what im doing is bad. ok. so, why am i coughing up blood? is it bad enough to have to talk to someone? how do i go about getting help...

thank you so much!

I was debating going to the emergency room and then had to go get a primatine mist inhaler to substitute for now. Which i was told by my doctor not even to use. The guy just said "I'm not doing it. You dont sound too bad on the phone, have a good night" CLICK There is no way this can be allowed am I right?

I know I'll get theanswers from kids based on what they have been taught & that's great, but I'm looking for replies from people that know about the subject.

My aunt is an RN, late 50's, and a smoker of 30 years... with no trace of COPD. My grandfather lived to be 85 and smoked since he was 12, no respiratory problems.

My aunt says that medical experts and scientists don't really KNOW what causes emphysema and if you talk to one they will tell you they think it CAN increase your chances of developing the disease, but aren't even sure by what %. I have read her med journals that skate around the subject.

She says people that don't smoke and live in highly industrialized cities get it as often as people that smoke. She says she's treated as many patients with emphysema that didn't smoke as ones that did, many of those not subjected to 2nd hand smoke

Does smoking CAUSE emphysema or not? I know I'll get "if you smoke, you'll die", but I'm hoping for educated input

This guy in the store was just coughing and hacking all over the place and I tried to face in the opposite direction and hold my breath for as long as I could....But he just kept on and on....It sounded like he has pnemonnia or bronchitis! Could I catch this from this guy? He was standing within 5-7 ft. from me!

-I do NOT have a runny nose
-I do have a tendency to cough, and when I do (mostly if I haven't coughed for a while OR when I wake up and before bed)
-It does NOT hurt when I swallow
-I do cough up mucus or whatnot, but I can't spit it out (can inly swallow)
-I can breathe fine and can play basketball or such accordingly. -My voice is maybe 18% altered, but doesn't hurt when I speak.
-Sometimes hurt when I cough in throat and a little below.

I've been taking: Probiotics, apple cider vinegar, wellness pills, omega 3's, and chlorella generously. These symptoms literally developed overnight on Wednesday to Thursday. I sneezed on Tuesday night, and a whole bunch of mucus came out. Wednesday night I breathed in some deodorant too long and coughed it out...ever since that, I've had the symptoms, but remember that sneeze and mucus the night before. Any ideas?

I have been sick since Tuesday, and have just gotten worse. I have a severe sore throat, chest pain, difficulty breathing, blood in my mucus occasionally, vomiting, trouble swallowing, and my resting heartbeat is a lot faster than it usually is....any idea if there is something wrong with me/I should go get checked out? I'm under 18, so I need my parents to take me to the hospital or doctor, but I am not sure if it is necessary
