What could be a reason that i am spitting up black mucus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spitting black mucus: This could be serious. Blood can turn blackish color, so if you have some bleeding in the respiratory tract or upper intestinal tract you could be spitting this up. Best to check this out with your doctor.
