Please see a chest physician/ pulmonologist. Bronchoscopy is a procedure where a small tube fitted with a camera is passed into your lungs to see where the bleeding is coming from. You will need a Chest X ray, CT scan of chest and a few other sputum tests before bronchoscopy, unless it is an emergency.

Hi Bronchoscopy may tell where the bleeding comes from... Blood tests will not help to see the internal aspects of lungs
