Is It Normal to Throw Or Cough Up Blood?

Im a 13 year old girl & it happened to
be that I have all the symptoms of
pneumonia, yesterday I coughed so hard
blood came out, I have very bad migraines,
I used to be in track & able to run
without feeling so tired & I had to
quit because I nearly fainted after
running only 2 laps! My mother thinks
it’s because I don't eat well but I do.
Anyways what could it be?

This Is Serious

Coughing up blood seriously isn't good.
If you're a regular track athlete and you
almost fainted from running 2 laps (800m)
something is seriously wrong. I think
your mother might be over-rationalizing
the situation with you not eating enough
as a reason. Not eating enough iron can
make you dizzy, but it won't make you
cough up blood. And besides, you're
eating enough. I think you should see a
doctor and see if you really have
pneumonia, which is a serious disease if
left untreated.

My mom already made an appointment but
she’s sticking with "it’s because I
don’t eat well" which I find ridiculous.
But another thing that bothers me is that
I rarely get sick & when I do its bad.

Well, I hate to be the voice of reason,
but coughing can cause your throat to
become irritated and you could cough up
some blood.
The title of this is misleading since it
implies you are throwing up blood, which
is not normal and can indicate an ulcer.
If you have been to the doctor and
diagnosed for pneumonia, why didn't you
bring up these issues with him then? Being
light-headed can be caused by poor
nutrition, as well as being ill with a
cold, the flu, or pneumonia.

So there could be a chance that this is
nothing serious just a case of a bad
cough? & sorry about the title thing I
meant to put cough up.

Yes, it may very well be nothing serious
at all. It might be an irritated throat
from coughing.
Who do you think would know you better
than your mom? Certainly not a bunch of
internet strangers. 
Good luck at your doctor's appointment.

Ingi is right, it could be an ulcer.
However, whether its pneumonia or an
ulcer, both are serious.

You posted on another forum that you had
family problems earlier on in life (I
believe it was a forum called "psycho
boyfriend" or something), if you feel you
need to vent or talk to someone, feel free
to pm (private message) me.

Im taking medication & in recovery
they estimate in about a week I will be
fine. The only thing is I might have to
have my tonsols removed due to the fact
that they wouldn't want this to happen
again. I'm just trying to not think about
it.

Having your tonsils out is no big deal.
You'll be fine.

I'm sure glad its not pneumonia. I've
never had my tonsils removed, so I don't
know if it hurts or not, but I think
you'll be fine. Good luck amanduh!

Now I have rectum bleeding, Im scared

I told my mom & she said its

cough really bad & coough up blood,
not to mention throwing up, or can it?

It could be that you swallowed some
blood?
Your mother is right, bloody stool can be
hemorrhoids but I think it could be that
you swallowed some of the blood in your
throat.
If you went to the hospital, there should
be a list of things to come back for. I
bet one of those is bloody stool. Look
over that sheet and you can even call to
ask someone who would know better than any
of us.
