you can cough up blood usually a blood/mucous mixture from the respiratory tract but this is not an embolism. embolisms are inside the blood vessels. if you are coughing up blood it would be wise to consult your medical provider for a proper examination to help determine the source or reason.
can you cough up an embolism. i have a clot in my lung and i am taking eliquis. is it even possible to cough up a clot? i was asked the question and i really don't know but i do cough up stuff. thanks
