Detailed explanation-1: -Hemoptysis refers to coughing up blood from some part of the lungs (respiratory tract). Blood coming from elsewhere, such as your stomach, can appear to be from the lungs. It’s important for your doctor to determine the site of the bleeding, and then determine why you’re coughing up blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Coughing up blood involves coughing or spitting up blood or bloody mucus from your lower respiratory tract (lungs and throat). Also called hemoptysis (pronounced “he-MOP-tih-sis”), coughing up blood is common and can have many causes. Most causes aren’t serious.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hemoptysis describes spitting up blood from the respiratory system. In contrast, hematemesis describes vomiting blood from the gastrointestinal system.
