Hello, I’ve not posted here for quite a while now, but I do lurk.
I have always had a really dry mouth at night, to the point where my tongue is bone dry. This morning when I woke up I had dried blood on my lips, and it appeared to be on my tongue. Can’t see any sign of having bitten it. It’s feels a bit weird today- maybe a bit dizzy.
Has anyone else experienced a dry tongue bleeding at night?
Thanks
If you have blood in your mouth I'd definitely get it checked asap, I had a bit of blood on my pillow one night and two days later had a carotid artery bleed caused by an infection which needed emergency surgery and a week in hospital. Unlikely to be the case for you but better safe than sorry.

Hi DLC im just wondering if you have been coughing lately and a blood vessel has given way, ,its has happened to me where i have coughed it up and panicked but it was just a bit of damaged caused by over coughing , some times they can cauterise the vessel to stop iy happening again. I believe its a common practice in nose bleeds . Hope all works out ok for you , nice but not to see you again , best wishes ,take care .

Its sometimes not easy but its worth it !
I agree with Mike. I would get it checked up, especially as its some years since you finished your treatment. No point in worrying if it's nothing much but equally if there is something going on it's best addressed straightaway.
Fingers crossed it's nothing
