What Causes Blood And Dark Clots From Throat?

I have been having blood ooze into the back of my throat, definitely feeling like it is originating from below, not my nose. When I spit there is bright red blood and continues to come up for 5 to 10 minutes, often accompanied by very dark clots. This has happened three days in a row now, twice when I woke up and once right before bed. Should I be seriously concerned?

Hello,

Dark brown blood with clots may be seen in hematemesis (blood coming from the stomach). It is seen in peptic ulcer disease or esophageal varies or acid reflux etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.

Use tablet Nexium.

If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
