Alternatively, you can request a copy of your security clearance investigation status through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request through your sponsoring agency. For the majority of clearance holders, a privacy act request through the Defense Manpower Data Center provides the necessary information. Once youâve obtained your security clearance status, be sure to update your Cleared Network profile with your expiration date and other details.
Having other health problems, such as heart failure or an abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia) may also trigger a flare-up. In some cases, the cause is not known. Here's what happens during an attack: 1  Your lungs may suddenly produce more mucus.2  Or the airways of your lungs (bronchial tubes) may suddenly get narrower. 3  These two things reduce the airflow in your lungs. 4  And that makes it harder to breathe and makes your coughing worse.

Blood may also fill inside the lungs but this usually occurs as a result of severe trauma and the cause is clearly evident, like in a gunshot or stab wound. In most trauma cases where blood can fill into the lungs, the lungs collapse and the blood accumulates around the lungs in the pleural space (hemothorax).
