"Early symptoms [of heart worm] include a cough, especially on exercise, and early exhaustion upon exercise. More advanced cases progress to severe weight loss, fainting, coughing up blood, and, finally, congestive heart failure."

This is all I could find looking it up.
I know you say she seems healthy, so this is probably not the cause of her spitting up blood. But you never know. Heart worm is something that needs to be diagnosed by your vet.
That is why it isn't a good idea to put off going to the vet when your pet has blood where it shouldn't be.
Always remember that, like we need regular check-ups with our doctor, our pets need regular check-ups with their vet to ensure their good health.
Be sure to keep her up to date on all vaccinations, including worm treatments.

Only a vet can diagnose what is wrong with your dog. I would definitely take your dog there, you don't want anything to happen to him/her!
Good luck!
