So, around a month ago, i spat fresh blood in the shower... i didnt cough it up, it was in my saliva when i spat. I had no other symptoms at the time, i.e fever, bad cough, fatuige, etc etc... other than the blood, im perfectly fine.
Anyway, on the day, i was told to go to the nearest A&E department. They done various tests, ESG, D-dimer(check for clots) other blood tests, chest X-ray. ALL came back fine, and i was sent on my way with nothing to worry about, and advised to contact my dentist.
Dentist told my i had Gingtivits, and was perscribed a tooth paste and mouth wash.. i have used this, and my gums dont seem to be bleeding anymore after brushing.
HOWEVER, first thing in the morning, EVERY morning, i keep spitting brown saliva, sometimes with a hint of red. takes 5-6 "spits" before it returns back to normal. Maybe i shouldnt be worrying, but i dont see why this is happening, and it makes me think it isnt my gums etc. i went to my doctor, who pretty much said "its in your mouth. if it was anything more serious, you'd have more accompanying symptoms. go back to your dentist"
just to add. i quit smoking just over a month ago....
opinions please!
