What Causes Blood Taste In Mouth?

Hi, I was just sitting down using my computer when all of a sudden I tasted blood in my mouth, thus, I went to spit the blood out. I saw that it wasn t mixed up with mucus and that it was just blood but as I was trying to spit it out repetitively to work out where it came from, it started to diminish. I know it came from the upper respiratory system rather than from the lower as I did not cough it up or anything. I also did not have any blood in my nose unusually, thus, I am really worried it might of come from my brain. Soon after, I started feeling dizzy, weak and a headache, so I went to lie down for a couple of hours which then got rid of most of the pain. But when I woke up to use the internet, I m starting to feel the symptoms lightly again. I would very much appreciate any helpful response or opinions on this matter. Please ask me questions to further clarify the problem if it is still unclear.

Hello,

Blood in sputam may be due to gingivitis or sinusitis or stress or dryness of nose or nasal pricking or allergy or hypertension etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Use vit c tablet 500 mg once a day for five days. Salt water gargling may soothen your mouth. Please consult with your ENT specialist he will examine the oral cavity and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
