spitting blood

[unkown148]

I have been spitting blood every morning as soon as I wake up for the past  two years it is blood diluted in saliva i have never in my whole life smoked or drunk anything with alcohol in it and I brush my teeth everyday. it is just as soon as i wake up. if i drink water before i spit in the sink in the morning my saliva will be clear and clean but if i spit before eating or drinking i will spit blood out and it is only in the morning and even if the whole day passed by and i didn't drink or eat anything my spit will still be clear.

no the last time a have had a flu or coughed or anything like that was a long time ago I breath normally ( if a doctor checks up my breathing I have allergies so it is normal for my breathing to be like this ) and its been like this for about two years so I'm sure its not a cause of fever I barely ever get sick ! I think I'm even over my allergies I was born with it but for the past year and a half I haven't sneezed in the presence of dust !

Hi there,
What are the clinical symptoms you have been having? Are you also having fever, cough and difficulty in breathing? The causes of blood in sputum can be bronchitis, broncheictasis, cystic fibrosis, tuberculosis, pneumonia etc.If you do not have symptoms suggestive of lung disease conditions like gum disease and gastritis should be considered. A complete clinical examination and tests like blood counts, X ray chest may be helpful. Do keep me posted.
Best luck and take care!
