Sounds like sensor dust to me but would need to see photos to be more sure. Shooting with a lens stopped down to minimum aperture (f22 - f32 say), focus to minimum distance and take a shot of something further away with mid tones (I often point at a deep blue sky or shaded ceiling), shows it up pretty well. If the background is too bright, the spots won't show up well (if at all).
I remember with my K-5 I used to have to regularly clean the sensor (typically annually at least). However the dust removal on my K-1 seems to be much better - in 5 years I have only had to clean it once.
A sensor needs to be cleaned very carefully with the right products (I use sensor swabs myself), there are lots of articles on line on how to do it properly, and if unsure getting it cleaned professionally is always a good option.
