Question 1

blood in mouth every morning after sleeping. what could this be? i'm diebetic.

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Blood in mouth could be from your gums, esophagus, windpipe or nose. See an ENT doctor for complete examination of your upper aerodigestive tract first. If negative finding, see gastroenterologist (vomitting blood)and/or pulmonologist (coughing up blood).

Question 2

how can heart disease cause blood in mouth?

Accepted Answer

Lung microbleeds: Most often the problem is little hemorrhages from capillaries in the lungs that are under too much pressure as the right side tries to pump against a failing left side. Ordinary folks may experience this during extreme unaccustomed exercise.

Question 3

teeth pulled 2 hours ago blood in mouth is brown in color, is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Acute Bleeding: Or brb (bright red blood) is a sign of fresh and continuous bleeding.  Darker blood is "older blood" and clotted blood.  Blood can have a variety of shades, darker blood is de-oxygenated and "older blood".  Utilize gauze with biting pressure for an hour and change as needed.  Tea bag will also be helpful, tannin in the tea will help to promote coagulation.

Question 4

when, my nose has bleed i let it bleed because i hate taste of blood in mouth. is it bad not to tilt your head back?

Accepted Answer

Quite the contrary: You should not tilt your head back, since you could choke on the blood. But you don't have to let it bleed, either. Pinch your nose, right at the middle of the bridge, and keep a firm grip for 10 minutes (watch a clock, it's longer than you think). The pressure will stop the bleeding. And be very gentle when blowing your nose and never pick it, since that's what causes most nosebleeds.

Question 5

when i'm asleep i sumtimes jurk shakes not knowin i'm doin it i have noticed a bit of blood in mouth or the pillow  wot can this be?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Having these types of symptoms can best be solved by having your doctor perform a thorough evaluation.  Only through this type of process can he/she discover what's going on and how best to help you.

Question 6

i sneez daily. but have no flu, sometimes very rarely usually after couple of days i feel taste of blood in mouth &there is blood in spit.

Accepted Answer

Sneezing: You might have an allergy causing your frequent sneezing. Try to think about what you have been exposed to in your environment before the sneezing started. The blood may be related to constant irritation of the nasal lining or could be related to an infection or nasal polyps. If the air is very dry in your home, consider using a humidifier. See an ENT or Allergist for further evaluation.

Question 7

i believe i suffer with aerosinisitus, is there any treatment i can try. on decent had terrible pain in forehead and blood in mouth next morning. ?

Accepted Answer

WilliamTellOfFlight?: An arrow in the sinus must be pretty painful! In the other kind of sinusitis you're best preparing the day before and of your flight with a decongestant pill  and spray(many OTC).That way the sinuses have their best chance of staying open so their pressures can equalize on ascent and descent.Same thing afterwards-but if it becomes a recurring problem despite those efforts, best to see an ENT doc.

Question 8

can u get hiv from sharing hookah pipes eating utensils or kissing if hiv person has blood in mouth or on lips and u have cuts in your mouth or lips?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, if you are exposed to someone elses blood through cuts in your mouth/lips, you can get HIV. Get checked ASAP.

Question 9

i've had bleeding gums for 1 or 2 months now.seems to be white stuff at the bottom of my teeth arou d gums and teeth.and wake up with blood in mouth?

Accepted Answer

Both related: The white stuff at the gum line is most likely plaque and calculus, which in fact would be the cause of the bleeding gums from periodontal (gum) disease, either gingivitis or worse, periodontitis. You need to see a dentist for a complete and thorough dental exam in order to determine what dental treatment is needed.  Postponing treatment will only lead to more expense and damage & loss of teeth.

Question 10

55 yo f with barrett's.  take omeprazole, sleep with cpap.  wake up with blood in mouth weekly.  should i consider surgery for barrett's?

Accepted Answer

Not yet: Make sure the blood in your mouth is not coming from your nose- postnasal drip. Use a humidifier for your CPAP as well as Vaseline for your nostrils. Talk to your gastroenterologist also.
