What Causes Bloody Discharge From Mouth?

Ok well it started like a Month ago I noticed after I brushed my teeth I spit out in the sink and in my sliva would be a strain of blood. I thought it was my gums but the more I spit the more I realized it wasn't my gums. I thought it was my throat, but maybe is my sinuses draining in back of my throat? I'm not sure. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms. My tonsils aren't enllarged, I don't have a stuffy nose, I don't have mucus draining in back of my throat I never had nose bleeds. So the more I spit to see what's going on the blood disapears and I don't see blood again maybe until the next day or a couple of hours if I try to spit and try to see blood.

If I just spit normally there isn't blood.
BUT. If I create Sunction in my mouth (it feels like I'm pulling my left tonsil) there is deffinate blood in my saliva and it could vary to a little stran or like a rusty color saliva with a stran of blood. I ALWAYS have to create some sort of suction to spit out blood. So my dilema is idk where its coming from.

I don't have a fever.
I don't have a lump on my neck.
I don't have horse voice.
It doesn't hurt when I eat or drink.
My lungs feel fine. I can breathe normally.
I excercise all the time. So I know I breathe normally.
I don't have a cough.
I don't have ear aches.
**I do sleep with my window open and my bed is under the window and its been cold nights sometimes.

But after I tried to spit out blood all the time cause I'm worried,

Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain as you have started experiencing blood in spit when you brushed your teeth and also you do not have any signs of any underlying problem as well as you seems completely healthy the most probable cause of blood in spit seems to be due to bleeding from gums..
It can be due to minor infection in gums leading to gingivitis as well as it can also be due to vigorous brushing causing injury to gums..
As the blood is not always present and when you create pressure in mouth you can see a few traces of blood you need not to worry as it does not look like any serious illness and is likely to be gum bleeding..
Consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and if there is infection in gums scaling followed by gum paint application will help.
Do warm saline gargles..
Brush your teeth gently using a soft tooth brush..
No need to keep spitting as you seems perfectly alright..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
