Hello doctor, Two days back I tasted blood in my mouth and when I spit the saliva I saw red blood. This is the first time it happened. 6 years back I had heart burn symptoms and took upper endoscopy that time and everything was normal. For heartburn I took medicine for 6 months and after that i didn t take any medicine. The heartburn came once in a while but not very severe. I m really worried after seeing blood. I have an appointment with doctor next week to do endoscopy again. Please let me what might be the cause for bleeding.. Thank you.
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  You may have hematemesis.  It means spitting of the blood.  You many have some injury in upper tract or esophageal varies. You should go for ultrasound abdomen and endoscopy examination and then take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
