Anita,

I think the question is best answered by your pulmonary doctor. When my husband contracted pneumonia from aspiration, he had a whole night of vomiting blood (dark, coffee grounds consistency) the night before he was admitted to hospital. The vomiting happened again when he had his second bout of aspiration pneumonia. There were times in between when he would get a virus in his lungs which is not normally found there and which was found when his phlegm was cultured. In those cases, a dose of anti-biotics took care of it.

I don’t know if this makes things any clearer for you, but I would ask the specialist if I were you.
