What Causes Spitting Of Blood Clots And Streaks?

hello,

This morning i woke up and i was spitting up small amounts of blood some were about dime size clots and then it was just streaks, my "spit" is clear. I know for sure it was from my throat. my mouth was not bleeding and my gums were not bleeding. i am a bit concerned. For a while i have been coughing not all day long but just here and there but i didnt think nothing of it because it didnt affect me. it rare my chest will start hurting but sometimes it will.
