Noticed Some Small Bumps At The Back Of My Tongue. History Of Lung Sarcoidosis, Allergy Asthma. Taking Seretide & Aquahaler. Worried About The Findings?

Is there any condition of ENT that might cause you to cough up blood? Real red blood that pools in the tissue. This continued for about 15 minutes.
I have noticed today some small bumps at the back of my tongue, could one of these have bled, causing the bleed?
I have a history of lung Sarcoidosis (10 yrs ago) and it was presumed this may be connected, but the blood was 'bubbling' in my throat which lead to the coughing.
I have allergy asthma, I'm on seretide 500 aquahaler, and my GP has now put me on a brown steroid inhaler
to see if it helps, because for a few mornings after I coughed up the blood my chest felt quite tight.
i haven't yet been referred to the ENT dept, even though I also have post nasal drip which would account for some of the coughing. (I have a chronic cough besides the blood bit!)
Hope you can offer an opinion, I'd be very grateful.
Many thanks
Jeana.
