Question

Coughing blood, especially in the morning. Numbness in toes on left foot. Night sweats.

Will I live?

Answer 1

No one can tell you what is wrong with you but doctors. You don't need insurance to see a doctor go to the er. Make a payment plan. If there is something seriously wrong with you find out now.

Answer 2

Those are serious symptoms. See a Naturopathic doctor or your healthcare specialist as soon as possible. Look for a clinic in your area that treats on a sliding-scale basis.

Answer 3

do you smoke?? this could cause problems with the lungs which could result in blood like spitting in the morning. The toes I have not clue about. maybe pore circulation.

Answer 4

It would be very useful to know a bit more about you, not least your age. Diabetes can cause this loss of sensation, particularly in the feet. If you have any close relatives who are diabetic get this checked out sooner rather than later. Poor circulation can also cause this problem, generally in older men who smoke. There are liver and blood complaints which will produce numbness in your feet but they tend to affect both at the same time. Pernicious anaemia is easily detected by a simple blood test by your GP. You would also generally notice a general tiredness. The symptom of coughing up blood needs to be distinguished from the more general symptom of blood in sputum, where blood may come from other causes than coughing (e.g. nasal bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.). Both coughing blood or blood in sputum are potentially very serious symptoms that need prompt professional medical attention; Suddenly coughing blood or coughing large amounts of blood is a medical emergency. With the exception of the obvious cause of having the room temperature too high or too much covering and clothes, here are some possible causes of night sweats. Menopause – The hot flashes that accompany the menopausal transition can occur at night and cause sweating. This is a very common cause of night sweats in perimenopausal women. Idiopathic hyperhidrosis – Idiopathic hyperhidrosis is a condition in which the body chronically produces too much sweat without any identifiable medical cause. Infections – Classically, tuberculosis is the infection most commonly associated with night sweats. However, bacterial infections, such as endocarditis (inflammation of the heart valves), osteomyelitis (inflammation within the bones), and abscesses all may result in night sweats. Night sweats are also a symptom of AIDS virus (HIV) infection. Cancers – Night sweats are an early symptom of some cancers. The most common type of cancer associated with night sweats is lymphoma. However, people who have an undiagnosed cancer frequently have other symptoms as well, such as unexplained weight loss and fevers. Medications – Taking certain medications can lead to night sweats. In cases without other physical symptoms or signs of tumour or infection, medications are often determined to be the cause of night sweats. Antidepressant medications are a common type of medication that can lead to night sweats. All types of antidepressants can cause night sweats as a side effect, with a range in incidence from 8 to 22% of persons taking antidepressant drugs. Other psychiatric drugs have also been associated with night sweats. Medicines taken to lower fever such as aspirin and acetaminophen can sometimes lead to sweating. Other types of drugs can cause flushing, which, as mentioned above, may be confused with night sweats. Some of the many drugs that can cause flushing include: niacin (taken in the higher doses used for lipid disorders), tamoxifen, hydralazine, nitroglycerine, and sildenafil (Viagra). Many other drugs not mentioned above, including cortisone medications such as prednisone and prednisolone, may also be associated with flushing or night sweats. Hypoglycemia – Sometimes low blood glucose can cause sweating. People who are taking insulin or oral anti-diabetic medications may experience hypoglycemia at night that is accompanied by sweating. Hormone disorders - Sweating or flushing can be seen with several hormone disorders, including pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome, and hyperthyroidism. Neurologic conditions – Uncommonly, neurologic conditions including autonomic dysreflexia, post-traumatic syringomyelia, stroke, and autonomic neuropathy may cause increased sweating and possibly lead to night sweats. You would be advised to obtain medical advice on all the symptoms you describe.
