What Is Causing Bitter Taste At The Back Of My Throat?

Hi. Over the last couple of days I've developed a bitter disgusting taste at the back of my throat. I've also had a bad mucus problem that has passed (but took about two months to shift) however this taste is getting worse and when I bring mucus uP from my chest there are small traces of blood in it. Any ideas please?
