Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
