Spitting up blood

Suddenly tonight I was spitting up blood.  My mouth filled up with blood a few times, I spit it out then it was clear.  About a half hour later, I must have fainted because I woke up on my floor.  I do not drink or use any drugs.  I checked the inside of my mouth and gums and all was fine.  Now I have a really bad headache.  What could all of this be?

You need to go to the ER now.  Spitting up blood is a dangerous sign.  I do have valid concerns, but wish to not speculate as you should be seen by a physician to rule out the causes.  In my opinion this could be a life threatening event and I urge you to be seen by a professional.  Please do not delay.
Please keep me posted.
