break up blood - #13891

Manvi

I am feeling really uneasy and honestly a bit scared about something going on with my body. Last week, I started noticing this weird symptom where I would break up blood in my saliva, and at first, I thought it was just allergies acting up since I’ve had a bad case for a while. But then it kept happening, and now I’m getting worried. I've tried to brush it off, but the thought of breaking up blood keeps creeping into my mind, especially when I’m brushing my teeth or even eating sometimes. I don’t have any pain or anything too serious, but the thought that I could be breaking up blood for some weird reason just doesn’t sit well with me. I've been checking my gums, thinking maybe it’s just that but they look fine. I do smoke, though, and I wonder if that could be linked to breaking up blood? Or could it be something like respiratory issues since I feel a bit of nagging cough? I’m not a doctor obviously, but should I go get checked out for this? Breaking up blood seems almost alarming, right? What do you all think? Is breaking up blood a sign of something serious, or could this just be something minor that’ll go away? Help!
