Coughing up blood, known as hemoptysis, is not a typical symptom of emphysema. Emphysema primarily causes difficulty breathing, chronic cough, and wheezing due to damage to the air sacs in the lungs. However, if someone with emphysema does cough up blood, it may indicate a more serious condition, such as a lung infection or another lung disease, and should be evaluated by a healthcare professional immediately.
