What Causes Chest Pain And Specks Of Blood In Saliva?

Hi there, i quit smoking about 6 months ago and now im getting constant belly pains just above my belly button and also i have dizzy spells and pains in my chest, plus im spitting out a funny tasting saliva with blood specks in it. Ive seen my local GP around 3 times now and they think it could be gastric symptoms. I just wondered what you think it might be, thanks.

Hello

This could be either gastritis or a peptic ulcer.

I would start by treating you with either Prilosec or Nexium but I would also schedule you for upper endoscopy to check out your stomach, esophagus, and duodenum
