Yes, go see the doctor immediately.
Sounds like seeing a doctor would make a lot of sense.
How are you even on here posting?

SEE A DOCTOR
Hello, and welcome to fluther. First, I agree with both PnL and skfinkel that a doctor’s visit is in order. Sick at night (night sweats), take off blanket -> cold (chills), warm under blanket (?fevers), dizziness (low oxygen or low blood pressure), coughing blood (coughing blood) are all possible signs of a lung infection, ranging from bronchitis, to pneumonia, to tuberculosis, to influenza or RSV. Only a doctor’s visit will sort that out. I suggest you go emergently to the closest urgent care center or emergency room.
FYI, I’m a doctor, and I don’t routinely tell people to go be seen ASAP, but this is one of those cases.
From the National Institutes of Health:
If you have any unexplained coughing up of blood, call an ambulance or go to the nearest emergency department. This is very important if your cough produces large volumes of blood (more than a few teaspoons), or if you also have:
* Dizziness
* Light-headedness
* Severe shortness of breath
Yes, go to a doctor! It could be something as simple as having a cold and having broken a blood vessel from coughing to all sorts of dire possibilities. Only a doctor will know what questions to ask, what tests to run, and whether it’s zebras or horses, and only a doctor can prescribe most of the medications you might need.
Listen to shi, my friend. Doctor. Now. Go.
I’ll tell you my story when you get back and let us in on your diagnosis.
COUGHING BLOOD = GET YOUR ASS TO A HOSPITAL RIGHT FREAKING NOW

Interesting. Poor @curioscamel never came back. Perhaps she perished that very next day. Or, a better story would be that she never came back, as human…...
