What does it mean when you dont have a sore throat but your producing a lot of flem buildup with blood?

If you've been coughing a lot and there are thin streaks of blood in your phlegm, that probably means you've ruptured capillaries by coughing so much. It's not a big deal. But if you have a lot of blood (as much blood as you have phlegm) you may have pneumonia or tuberculosis, and you need to see a doctor right away. If there's a lot of burning in your chest, if you find it very difficult to breathe, if you have a "wet" cough (sounds like there's fluid in your lungs) go see the doctor.

I have a very bad cough that has been for two years and now can taste blood when coughing. my chest hurts without coughing and during coughing. what can this mean?

First, go see a doctor immediately. Anything other than air and mucus coming out of your lungs is abnormal, blood indicates that there is damage in your lungs, possibly due to infection (Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, etc.) or, worse, cancer. You should definitely see a doctor immediately -- lung conditions should always be taken seriously.
