What Causes Unusual Taste In The Mouth And Spitting Of Blood After Sleep?
Over the last couple of months, after getting up in the morning or at night I often have a metallic taste in my mouth and when I spit for the first time there are traces of blood in it. During the day this does not happen.My gums also tend to occasionally bleed when brushing my teeth.The blood in the spit thing happens every second day or so. It is more intense the morning after drinking some alcohol the night before (moderate amounts: 3-4 glasses of wine, or prosecco), and occasionally comes with headache/dizziness when waking up at night.

Hi,
As per your complain you have problem of bleeding from gums that may be because of inflammation of gums called gingivitis. If any deposits around gums present than it can remove by scalping. Some antihypertension drugs and phenytoin like drugs cause gum inflammation. Any trauma to gums or sharp food logement also cause gingiva inflammation. Consult a dentist for further treatment. After oral examination of mouth exact diagnosis can occur.
Chlorhexidin gluconate gel application over gums helpful to decrease a inflammation. If needed than start under dentist suggestion. Start a treatment according to cause. Alcohol drinking may cause headache problem at morning.
I hope my guidance helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Rachana
