I've been experiencing a tightness/tug at the base of jaw or at the top end of my throat. I've been breathing a lot through my mouth as a way of coping up with my anxiety. Every morning for the last 3 days I wake up with this feeling of tightness/tug. It is not hindering my swallowing, but still it's very uncomfortable.

Do excessive frequent coughing cause 🩸?

Hey doc, i have ocd so i did frequent intentional coughs. And got bleeding like in august,December 2025 once. Then in january and march 2026 once. Whenever I do not cough I don't get any blood. During feb 27- march 5 2026, i had a cold and cough. At that time I didn't get any blood. Is it normal to get a little streak whenever we cough hard and intentionally many times? I also have a history of smoking from 2019-2022= 3 a day 2024 aug-2026 march= 9 a day. So I was worried that maybe my smoking had caused CA.
