Get checked out: That can happen for any number of reasons, some harmless and some serious. It can come from the nose, tongue, tonsils, throat, lungs or stomach. You may need to have a chest xray, TB test, and to have ENT or other doctors check for a source of the bleeding. This isn't something to ignore.
