Hi Maggie, do you have lung disease? I only ask because it could be your gums.

See a doctor if you are concerned or it happens again. Let us know how you are. Xxxxxx

Hiya Maggiemay. Post-nasal drip or a nosebleed are also likely sources of blood in the mouth upon waking. If the nasal passages become irritated, blood can drip into the mouth, resulting in blood in the saliva. Coughing while asleep can also result in blood from the lungs or gastrointestinal tract making its way into the mouth.

Certain narcotics, such as crystal meth, result in oral lesions that might bleed overnight. Some medications might also cause the gums and other oral tissues to bleed, which is why it is important to discuss this symptom with your GP ASAP.

Infections, including bacterial and viral infections, can also cause blood in the mouth upon awakening. Yeast infections, for example, can occur in the mouth.

Certain types of cancer can result in bloody saliva, including esophageal, stomach or lung cancers or lymphoma.

While bloody saliva rarely signals a serious medical condition, only a doctor can provide a definitive diagnosis for blood in the mouth. I would be seeing my GP as soon as I can . Gerald.
