You can have blood in your saliva (from nasal drainage) when you have sinus infections. You need to go see a doctor.

Hi, I saw another of your post about having a little blood in your saliva too. Well, with all those symptoms of dizziness, eye pain...etc, it would be good if you can go and see an ENT. I'm not trying to frighten you or what, but the blood might be caused by cancer. Since you smoke before, you might have a higher risk of developing nose or throat cancer. I'm not a med professional, so I can't tell you much. But I hope you go seek medical help soon! Good luck! :)

Did the ENT doctor look at your throat. Maybe you have a small scratch there or some old blood in your nose from a sinus infection or just some blood vessels that bleed. This can happen and it usually clears up. If you suspect your nose is hurting or bleeding, watch how you blow your nose or use nose drops.
Cancer usually does not occur in someone of your age. But you can reassure yourself by asking the doctor.

Thank you for replying, I don't think it's cancer (i hope not anyway) but it's scary, I went to the ent doctor and he thinks it's from quitting smoking , all the garbage is coming out, I hope he right

When your ent said that your throat and nose are fine, what does fine means? Did he did a scope and looks in your nose? Did you injured your nose before? Maybe you could wait for a week or 2 and see if the symptoms go away. Maybe your nose is just reacting to the elimination of smoking as what your doc said. gd luck. :cool:
