Covid symptoms
I have been diagnosed with covid on 14th. My husband is having fever from 13rd and I had fever on 14th and half day of 15th and it is gone. I have severe stratchy throat which i irritated further when i tried too hard to expel the mucus. I noticed blood in mucus post that whenever I try hard to expell the mucus from throat which I'm never been able to expell without force as i have bronchial ashthma. Is it normal to have blood in mucus? I don't notice it in sputum only when i try hard to get the mucus out from the airway. Also I'm extremely anxious since the time my husband started having fever. I had an issue of anxiety disorder and I'm so anxious now all the time by pulse is always over 100. I don't have fever , much cough just sore stratchy throat and constant anxiousness please help. I'm constantly worried about thispulse rate i keep on checking every min and also i try hard to extract the mucus all the time forcing my throat very hard. My oxygen is normal i don't have any nausea

First of all we've to check whether it is blood stained sputum or blood is due to excoriations (possible because ypu tried hard to expel the mucous out which may lead to mucosal damage). To address regarding pulse rate you should actually mention what is the exact pulse rate.. your fever anxiety etc can increase your pulse rate.
Next Steps
Consult a doctor.
Health Tips
Avoid forceful coughing.. your doctor will prescribe mucolytics which will help for easy expel of sputum.
