Hello Fellow Pacers.
I've coughed up a bit of blood from time to time since getting my PM. It is just a tiny bit and always mixed with mucous. I was initially told that this was from taking blood thinners; even baby aspirin can have that affect.
I'm off all those meds (even baby aspirin) but the past few days it's been happening again. I feel absolutely fine.
Have any of you experienced this? I tried to do a search on the site but didn't come up with any hits.
Thanks for any input!

So, my advice is to go about your daily routine and forget that you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.
I think you need to see a specialist...

...this could be very serious. The right guy can figure it out in minutes - looking at the color of the blood & the type of mucous. It might even be coming from the nasal sinus asrea of the skull. From the alimentary canal, a quick endoscope job lets him/her see everything from the lips to the opening next to the appendix & gives you clearance for that part.
Go find a good gastro guy for quick peace of mind.
Be sure to use my name when you try to make an appt - Coughing up blood mixed w/ mucous. You'll need my middle name whan you call - it's the color of the blood.
Good luck w/ your quest for truth.
