Spitting blood

[cb7777]

Hi

I am a 28 year male and have minor gum issues and quite regularly get bleeding while brushing so normally put it down to that.

Last night I woke up with a big pain in my right cheek where I had bit it (I do this about once a month also in the same spot) and felt very sick. About 20 mins later I vomited (did eat a lot the night before so may be the cause) and afterwards coughed and bought up quite thick mucas with quite thick red streaks of blood in. I brushed my teeth after quickly (did not go over the gums too much) and no blood come out afterwards.

This morning I washed my mouth out with water before brushing and spat up a little blood and could also taste blood within my mouth.

Would it make sense that the blood caused could be from where I bit my mouth although I could not taste blood initially and vomited before spitting the blood out when I coughed? Of course I am worried it could be a sign of cancer but considering my age / smoking status / absence of other symptoms and family history it does seem very unlikely

Other than this I am in fine physical shape with no family history of cancer.

PS I also remembered when I brushed this morning the gum area by where I bit my mouth hurt also

Thanks for your help
