I've been noticing that ever since 2018, whenever I have my first spit in the morning, there's been a little blood in it. It's been happening for a couple of years now. Sometimes it's just a tiny amount and other times a bit more. I went for a full health check-up in October 2019, and my chest X-ray came back normal, so now I'm wondering, could this be a sign of something serious?
