Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
when i wake up in the morning I have blood taste in my mouth and I spit small amounts of blood. 12 months ago i was rushed into hospital vomiting large amounts of blood and was treated for two burst ulcers i my gastric pipe just before my stomach.Also I had a heart attack in 2013 and had two stents fitted..I am on appropriate medication for this, including aspirin. I also take lansoprazole twice a day before food ?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have vomiting up of blood during mornings. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query blood clotting disorders , swelling, irritation, or inflammation of the esophagus lining or acid reflux . I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy , eat at least one hour before going to bed , keep your head elevated while sleeping and eat small and frequent meals . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order endoscopy , x-ray of upper respiratory track and ambulatory acidity test . Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ranitidine or may refer you to ENT specialist for throat problem or dentist for dental infection . Also maintain proper oral hygiene .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
