blood in saliva

[marty11]

I have recently been experiencing the taste of blood in my mouth.  When I spit out, I am seeing traces of blood.  I had chest x-rays that came out clear.  I saw an ear nose throat doctor who checked my nose and throat and saw nothing except excess mucous.  He prescribed a nasal spray for me.  I have been using it for about two weeks now, and am still seeing and tasting the blood.  I am also experiencing some pressure in my throat.  Any suggestions on who to see or what could be going on?

That is Too serious to go to this forum. Please see an internist. Left side hurting and blood spitting maybe related to lungs or heart valve.

Please see an internist right away, it maybe serious.

My case though, I had an internist looked at my story and found out nothing was wrong with me. Cause of my blood spitting from extreme pressure or alleviated pressure was due to a little vein rapture which was caused by extreme pressure. Some special antibiotics handled it pretty much.

I'm 52, male. For past 2 yrs I've been waking up to find occasional bloody saliva stains on bed sheets. I also spit blood occasionally. I don't smoke, am fit, healthy and not overweight.
Bloodstains tend to coincide with late eating or drinking the evening before. Im a very heavy snorer and this is made worse with drink. Perhaps this is causing blood release? I'm a mild asthmatic and started using an inhaler recently and have noticed an increase in staining. Some reaction in the throat to the spray perhaps?
In any case, having read all posts in this forum, I've decided that this condition is almost certainly not a major issue and now don't feel the need to visit a doctor.

I've just recently started sitting out blood, but I've been constantly sick this year, I used to smoke, but now I don't apart from Pot which I've only been smoking t
Since the start of the year, before I had the blood I was feeling sicker then usual and vomited in the morning, I haven't yet been to the doctor but I have been told it could be something to do with a sinus or stomach infection.

Hi Dr. I see some traces of Blood ( earlier thin blood now some thickened Clots) in my Mucus early Morning. I went for Blood tests and sputum test and got some viral infection detected in my blood . Also I have had a terrible sore throat with extreme pain in my throat with fever for one day and took medicines and throat infection seems ok but lots of mucus still seems to be blocked in my chest and nose . Now when I gush up the mucus and clear my throat i see thick traces of Blood ( clot ) earlier 2 days ago they was thin blood and i used to taste blood in my mouth. I am still on the same medication for Viral infection that targeted my throat but I dont understand where is the blood coming from now , when I feel  no pain in my throat am so worried please suggest ???? also just to let you know I dont smoke or drink !!
