Coughing up blood in phlegm doesn't definitively indicate COPD, although some COPDers may experience it from time to time. It is actually a symptom of several possible disorders, with the most common being mild bronchial infection (for example - bronchitis, which is a major component of COPD).
Although most cases are mild conditions, it may be a sign of a serious illness (particularly tuberculosis). So if you or somebody you know experiences frequent episodes of coughing up or vomiting up blood, they should contact their physician or health care provider as soon as possible.
