What sort of diseases or injuries could make a person regularly cough up blood but not have any significant impact on their overall health or performance in combat in the near-term? Like, a bit of anemia at most.
I'm trying to avoid saying "yeah, it's magic/a curse, shit sucks bro."
Well, Doc there had Tuberculosis. It did eventually kill him.

Right. That was the closest example I could think of, but Doc really shouldn't have been out of bed for most of that movie. He definitely wasn't performing as well as would have without the deadly illness.

The real Doc Holiday had TB and was a pretty bad motherfucker...

A fairly serious gum disease could see you spitting up blood.

Regularly coughing up blood is likely to have a significant impact on your overall health. It means that your insides are bleeding, and that's a bad thing. Maybe a mouth infection of some kind could work?
Bleeding ulcer, maybe?

Could even be something like tonsillitis. Really fucking nasty tonsillitis.

Dramatictitus, you start violently coughing up blood whenever you trail off or otherwise make enigmatic statements.

Prone to nosebleeds and asthma.

A little bit of cancer might do it, or some other form of tumor. So long as it grows slow enough it'll not debilitate in the near term.
