Blood in mouth from throat or esophigus ? Posted: 09-02-07 10:26am
this past friday night about 8:00 pm just
before eating dinner i thought i tasted
blood in the back of my mouth, i just blew
it off and went ahead and ate. after
eating dinner i did not taste the blood
anymore so later i went to bed. when i
woke up the next morning i went to the
bathroom and saw on my face that i had
bleed from my mouth during the early night
because a 3" puddle of blood on the bed
was dry. i cleaned my mouth and got my
wife to look in my throat for anything she
could see, she saw nothing of conern. it
is saturday and i went about my saturday
buisness thinking and hoping that it was
just a weird nose bleed. today i woke up
on sunday morning and my daughter saw my
face and told me that i had bled out my
mouth again, this time examining
throughly, i believe that the blood is
coming from my throat or esophigus, not
exactly sure which one? depending on which
one, what could it be? doctor is closed
labor day, i will go to see him on
tuesday, just worried about what is
going

It is very hard to locate from where
exactly the blood is originating without
seeing it (with a visual inspection). In
your case, blood can originate from the
mouth, pharynx (throat) or esophagus. You
can visit your GP or an ENT-specialist if
necessary to identify the original place
of bleeding.
