I'm experiencing what I think might be acid reflux, and I've been noticing some blood mixed in my saliva but only in the mornings, and it's worrying me a bit. I'm not coughing at all, but my throat's been feeling sore all day, and there's this constant salty taste in my mouth. Also, now and then I cough up some yellowish mucus. What could be going on, and what should I do about it?

I've noticed that each time I bend over, drops of water seem to leak from my right nostril. It happens about 35 drops on average, and this pattern repeats every 15 to 20 days. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?
