Why? Well, Canada's winter respiratory virus season got off a late start and now it is in full swing, officials say. That suggests more people are sick with the flu and landing in the hospital compared to years past.

I caught the flu two weeks ago and it ducked fucked me up so bad. I had mild fever and severe chills, muscle pain, and a really bad cough. I've been coughing up blood all week last week. It's getting better now but my lungs are still irritated. I'm so tired and low energy all the time.

If you haven't yet, get vaccinated. Trust me.

Did you go get checked out? I’ve been sick a few times in my life but not “coughing up blood sick”

I get this sometimes when sick. Its usally blood that came from my nose or nasal area from irritation, over blowing, or dryness. The blood gets stuck in the mucus and can come out when coughing.

Yeah that's pretty much it. It's more like bloody mucus than straight up blood.

I did cough up a crip once. That was unnerving.
