stress in general or stress from this? gosh...tough crowd on the board, eh?
anyway... when you see your doc he or she will need to differentiate between a pulmonary source of the blood and or a sinus/nasal/pharnygeal source since the origin could be either from what you described. Think of post nasal drip mixed with some blood and you can see how a sinus problem could cause mucous mixed with blood.
TB would typically present with fever and night sweats... and a hacking cough associated with the blood... been there, done that but happily tested negative for anything but a pneumonia. With no other symptoms chances are it isn't TB... but you never know until tested.
Since you vomited some blood I would guess an upper source that went down both pipes (esphagus and trachea) and came back up both ways.
As said before, see a doc.
