Still bleeding when I gag really hard. Worries me. I have read about the damage that this can cause blood vessels. When I gag there is a lot of squeezing and pressure and then I spit and the whole spit wad is red and full of blood. And what's worse is that the gagging makes me gag again and again until I can force it under control. Makes me think every time I do this I re-injure whatever healing has been done.

Very nervous
