Past few weeks I am feeling short breath and I also got my Heart Echo done which showed mild LVH. couple of days back I got very little blood . my doctor told me to have Augmentin 625 and Montair -LC for a week and I am having them for past two days.when I spit and again today I got blood. Looked like bright red color sputum. No trace of sputum color. Note:- I do have GERD problem for more than 6 years

Hi. I understand your concerns. it is better to get a chest x ray to look for infection. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
