I've noticed on a few morning that when i clear my throat, there is blood in my phlegm.
My teeth bleed really badly when i brush my teeth and I've seen my dentist who said I need to floss - this has been going on for years. I have a tiny nose so i tend to sleep with my mouth open (very attractive for my other half).
The phlegm could have been there for years as well, but I was mistaking it with blood from my teeth. Obviously I'm in a state of anxiety at the moment so I've noticed it.
I mentioned it to my doctor a while back and he didn't even respond really. He checked my breathing and throat and said everything was fine.
Do you think this is a cause for concern? I'm 24, have never smoked and rarely drink. I do have a brain tumor fear and I'm worried the cancer has spread...in a bad way. Constantly lightheaded. Seen two doctors, two opticians.
Thoughts appreciated,
