Hello if the pain you describe is when you breath deep, and the episode of blood. It looks like pleuritic pain. Ie. The pain arises from inflammed covers of the lungs. I suggest you to get a chest X ray done if occasional cough is present
The second probability is that you suffer from gastritis with some reflux in the food pipe which may have caused some blood in the spit.
Do visit your local physician and evaluate for same.
Hoping I could help.
