Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Blood in the saliva would be related to lesions in the mouth or throat.

It can be associated with :(1) gum disease (2) infection of the throat or mouth

(3)allergic rhinosinusitis- inflammation of the nose and sinuses (4) trauma

Your other symptoms of headache, fatigue, difficulty concentrating may or may not be related to the blood that you are noticing.

You need to consider assessment by your doctor. This would include physical examination of your mouth, heart , lungs, assessment for possible anemia (would cause fatigue).
Investigations may be suggested depending on the findings.

I hope this helps
