Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your history and present complaints. There is no connection between your past history of epilepsy and the current coughing of blood.

This needs further evaluation, with Chest X-ray and sputum culture examination.

You can consult a pulmonologist or chest physician for further evaluation and treatment.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
