I'm usually a really good sleeper, but lately, I've noticed something a bit worrying. When I wake up, there's blood mixed with my saliva. It's only four or five drops, but it's still concerning. I know my blood pressure has been at 130 over 87. Could these two things be connected, or is there something else I should be worried about?

One possible cause could be gum disease or gingivitis. To address this issue, you can use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Additionally, you can take Vitamin C supplements to support gum health. Regarding your blood pressure of 13087, it is slightly elevated. You can manage this by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm having a really hard time swallowing anything, even my own saliva, since yesterday. Im a bit worried because a few days ago I had a throat infection and a cold, but was feeling better last week. Plus, I ate some really hot food yesterday and Im not sure if that messed things up again. Could that be causing my throat pain?
You seem to be suffering from acute pharyngo-tonsillitis which is a common type of throat infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days for faster recovery

I've been noticing that there's occasionally blood in the mucus from my nose, and it's been happening over the last couple of months, every 10 to 15 days or so. I'm starting to worry a bit and was wondering if you could suggest anything to help with this?
Occasional blood in the nose mucus can be due to various reasons such as dry air, allergies, or nasal infections. To help alleviate this issue, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep your nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can use a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air. It's also important to avoid picking your nose and to gently blow your nose when needed. If the problem persists, you can consider using over-the-counter nasal decongestants like Afrin (oxymetazoline) for a few days, but be sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions.
