Thanks for your question on HCM.
There are many causes for blood in cough (haemoptysis). The most common causes are
1. Infection like TB or bacterial pneumonia.
2. Bronchitis.
So better to get done chest x ray and sputum Examination for AFB.
If this is normal than get done upper GI scopy to rule out gastric ulcer as cause of blood in vomiting.
If this is also normal than no need to worry much it may be due to friction bleed of coughing.
