Blood tasting saliva?!

Blood tasting saliva?

Why does my saliva oftentimes taste like blood. My dentist told me that i have gingivitis but i don't think it's because of this. It seems that it is coming internally from the chest i feel. It is not continuous it stops quickly, 1 - 3 spits and a drink of water it will be gone. It happens oftentimes in the morning or when it is very hot. I am also hypertensive. I want to know what caudes this problem?

If it is due to gingivitis why is it happening eventhough i'm not brushing? Is it just normal for this condition to taste blood occasionally. Do i have something to worry about?

try scraping your tongue on a daily basis and see all the yellowish thick gunk you get off it. also flossing and brushing 3 times a day and using mouthwash that is alcohol free helps, it takes awile but it works. its not blood that your tasting, its all the bacteria that has built up in your mouth that seems to taste like blood, its not a frequent thing but happens occasionally, 2 other possibilities: h. pylori that can cause ulcers in stomach may cause bad breath, aslo are you on any medications that may have this as a side effect
