My nose was bleeding yesterday bad twice and moderate once. Now I am spitting up a lot of blood that is dark and a little black. Could that be from yesterdays nosebleed?

Despite the previous answers, that is fairly normal. With a nosebleed, some will come out of the nose but much of the blood will be swallowed or accumulate around the nasal turbinates -- and it is a surprisingly large amount. Eventually, that will come out. Usually this goes posteriorly into the back of the throat and is then coughed out as a dark bloody clot.
It is kind of scary, but generally not dangerous. Still if you are concerned, go to see an ENT physician or your primary care doctor.

If your nose bleeds you swallow some blood usually, and some may be in your lungs. It should clear within a few days, but if you were spitting up blood without the previous nosebleed it would definitely be a concern.

The dark blood probably is from yesterday's nose bleed. Fresh blood is brighter red. However, three fairly good nosebleeds in a day is not good. You should see a doctor.

I used to get terrible nose bleeds when I was in high school. by the time my mom would get me to the ER (we lived about 15 miles from the hospital) they would be about over and couldnt cauterize them. They thought they were hormone induced - I would get them around the same time I would get my period. Anyways, often the blood will drain down the back of your throat and end up in your stomach. Spitting it up is not uncommon. Being that it is black signifies that it is old blood. You should probably get checked just to see if they can figure out why you are having them.
good luck
PS as i got older they just went away, i never did do anything about them

I lost my password so I had to make another account ( and I misspelled my email address) I called up the doc he said it's normal he told me some stuff to put in it. I also noticed that I only spit up blood twice and one time not a lot. So I exaggerated because I got nervous lol. My nose feels a lot better now though ,and it has nto bled again since last night it was from dryness.

If it looks like coffee grounds, you need to go to the ER NOW!!! Otherwise, I'd definitely go see the doctor TODAY. Spitting up blood, especially dark blood, is not a good thing. You might be bleeding internally.

Go to the doctor. Spitting up a lot of blood is not normal--nose bleeds or not. The nose bleeds are not good either.
