spitting up blood

   Hello Everyone,

I wanted to check out some forums before I gave a call to my doctor. I am in my early 20's used to dance almost 9 hours a week so I guess you could say im fairly active, and  just recently started going back to the gym after 3 years. I have never smoked, and i barley drink any alcohol, i even eat all kinds of food to which my doctor says is wonderful. I am never dizzy or shaky, out of breath maybe once in a while. I am never sick either or tired. I recently got paranoid because when i wake up in the morning before i brush my teeth to gargle with water, i  spit up a little blood that seems to have been stuck in the back of my throat. It is so random because i feel fine, but am freaked out by this. I don't even have anyone in my family that this has ever happened to and this happens a little each morning.

I wonder if it is throat irritation or sinus issues...Especially since you say it is coming from the back of your throat. It wouldn't hurt to run it by your doc though and see what he or she says. Sunny

hmm you said u brush your teeth and spit out the blood? sounds to me like your gums are bleeding and when u hock maybe u think its coming from the back of your throat . next time you brush dont hock just spit out the toothpaste and see if theres blood , or before you brush your teeeth hoc first to see if blood is coming from your throat . if not then u know its your gums bleeding. .......hope this helps ........2young
