A member asked:
Can spitting blood be a heart problem? if so, could you give me the most common one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost never: Hemoptysis can occur in advanced cases of rheumatic heart disease with mitral stenosis. It's very rare. It is much more likely that you're spitting blood from a bronchial cause. The commonest cause is acute bronchitis and is benign.
