Blood in mucus

Asked for Female, 40 years

I had mucus from the throat, and it had minor blood in it. I went to the ER, and the blood pressure was 190/110. The doctors said bleeding had to do with the blood pressure as the bleeding stopped as soon as blood pressure reducing pills were given orally. I had blood tests, PTT, ECG and echo tests and everything came out normal. Can high blood pressure be the reason for this bloody mucus from the throat? I am feeling very anxious about this.

Dear Patient,

Kindly share photos of your detailed medical workup.
Sometimes due to excessive force/cough, a part of the throat can be torn and a little bit of blood can come up from the excessive straining. It could also be due to high blood pressure but we cannot be sure till you share your medical reports with us.
A single episode of blood spitting in the absence of any past drugs/cigarette/alcohol/betel nut/pan addiction history is normally insignificant.
