Spitting up blood after brushing my teeth, what does this mean?

Periodontal disease: It sounds like some form of periodontal (gum) disease. Have it checked out by your dentist or a periodontist before it gets even worse and becomes harder to treat with more cost.

Gum disease: like gingivitis and periodontitis tend to be the main reason why you spit out blood after you brush your teeth. It's time to see your dentist for examination and x-rays.
