Nose bleeds

My friends sister had nose bleeds all the time, she went to the doc and then got some kind of small operarion to stop it.

Yes. I know a couple of people that are prone to nosebleeds. go and see your doctor and see if theres anything he can give you

From an article I researched: Why do some people get a Nose bleed - Bloody Nose - Nose Bleed - The nose was built for bleeding a doctor once told me. He said the nose was filled with numerous blood vessels, and many of these are thin and are on the surface of the inside of the nose. It takes very little damage to break one of these blood vessels whcih can cause severe bleeding. A smack or blow to the nose can lead to severe bleeding, as well as dry air in the winter causing the nose lining to crack, picking the nose can easily break a vessel, as well as sharply blowing the nose. Even high blood pressure or bending down can cause enough pressure to break a vessel inside the nose. Smoking cigarettes can dry and crack the nose lining, and taking medications that thin the blood can cause severe nose bleeds.

Stopping a Nose Bleed - Bloody Nose - Nose Bleed - Once a nose startes bleeding what can you do to stop it, basicaly nothing except sit and wait. There are two things folks tell you to do. 1. Sit down and remain calm, keep the head elevated and just relax until the bleeding stops. 2. Sit and keep the head elevated, but gently pinch the sides of the nostrils together and hold for a few moments until the bleeding stops. I have never had good luck when I was a kid and had a major nose bleed, it was best if I sat still and left the nose alone until it stopped bleeding, pinching seemed to make things worse. Once your nose stops bleeding, leave it alone, any rubbing, sneezing, picking or much activity can easily get it bleeding again. Also the inside of the nose will feel crusty, this is clots and scabs forming. Do not blow the nose hard or pick at it for at least 24 hours or you rish it bleeding again. Any severe nose bleed, that lasts more than 15 minutes should warrant a trip to the local Emergency Room or doctors office. When I was a kid the right side of my nose would’nt stop bleeding, my parents took me to the local Hospital where the doctor cauterized the blood vessel, the right side of my nose has never bled since.

Take care !!

Omgosh my little bro punched me in the nose when he was only four or five, and my nose bled. Ever since then I kept getting these random nosebleeds until roughly two years ago it stopped for some reason. What I used to do was hold a tissue to my nose and lie on my back for a few minutes. It’s gross (obviously) but you blow your nose after that and it’s pretty much stopped. Also, if you know what post nasal drip is…um, this is disgusting but if you have a cold when your nose bleeds, don’t lie on your back because the phlegm in the back of your throat will be bloody. EW! I’m sorry I told you that but I’m just warning you, you do NOT want that to happen to you like it did to me once!!! Anyway people say that dry weather causes nosebleeds, but no one who’s ever told me that was a doctor or had chronic nosebleeds for that matter so I don’t know if it’s true. I do know from experience that sometimes if you blow your nose really really hard it can trigger a nosebleed. …this is really long. Haha hope it helps though! =)
