Random Nosebleeds? > General Discussion

Posted: 7/15/2009 9:10:00 AM EDT

Anyone ever get them randomly or after you blow you nose?

I have broken my nose a couple times before, could that have anything to do with it?

Happens to my dad and brother all the time.

It happens to me in cold, dry weather.

whoa, I have a nosebleed right now.....creepy
I get them very easily, every time I pinch my nose too hard or mine for gold. Ever since I was a kid it's been like that, I get nosebleeds probably 2-3 times a week.
ETA: I also live in Florida, so dry air has nothing to do with it

Keep your finger out of your nose.

I used to get them weekly. I worked in a very dry environment and burn wood in my house so winter was especially bad. Since I changed jobs (2 years ago) I can't really remember the last one I had.

ETA: Ayr saline mist helped me a lot when I was getting them.

This. Also once in a while if I blow my nose too hard in the shower.
I also never had on until I broke my nose at 20.

Capillaries too close to the skin inside the nose is one cause of these.

This could be a variety of things that do not add up to a hill of beans. It could also be signs of a couple of things that can be very important that you know about 'early'. I humbly ask that you go see your doctor for a check up and tell him/her about this...

Find out the cause... Most nosebleeds are benign... my dad and my daughter get them all the time... My dad gets them when he is fighting a lack of sleep and my daughter gets them in the winter. Is it coming from both nostrils at the same time or just one?

used to get them all the time, at least once a week...gushers.

Had the veins in my nose cauterized..... no more nose bleeds

Quick way to stop it is roll up a piece of toilet paper and stuff it under your upper lip. I get them in spells.

Check your blood pressure

Lay off the blow.

I used to get them when I first moved out to Vegas because of how dry it is. Haven't had one in awhile though.

I got one yesterday in the middle of work. Too bad, I think it's the first of the year.

<========Paramedic.

High blood pressure.
Very common with people taking anticoagulants such as coumadin, heparin, plavix.
Or it could just be simple dry air. I got them in Kuwait a time or two.

See your doctor for a protime and PTT blood test. Asking the interweb for med advice is bad ju-ju.

Good luck bro.

I was plagued with nosebleeds all through childhood and most of my adult life. I didn't have to blow my nose or sneeze - I could be laying in bed or sitting watching TV or eating dinner and it'd start bleeding. I've had chemical cauterizations done a few times over the years, the most recent one being about 3 years ago. So far so good, I haven't had any since then. Silver nitrate for the win.

It didn't have anything to do with blood pressure, and there sure hasn't been any drug use (particularly when I was like 9 years old). My problem was/is blood vessels very close to the surface of the membranes in my nose. I'll probably have to go in for another treatment in a few years.

Happens once every 6 months or so to me. Last time I got one was about 1-2 months ago while shopping in the grocery store after work. Was just strolling along, felt something wet near my upper lip and yup, blood. I had to continue shopping with my head tilted all the way back because I didn't have any tissues....

too much blow, not enough strippers....

Dry weather can contribute to nosebleeds. Hypertension can, as well.

If it's really dry where you are, try nasal irrigation once a day, or use a nasal spray.

You gotta get clean. That stuff'll kill you some day.

I had my nose broken in junior high and it bled like a stuck pig then. Fast forward to a few summers ago (nose-break + 8 years) and I got about 4 random nosebleeds in a summer. I think it was because I was at a workstation directly above an AC vent that was going full-bore and it dried out my nasal passages and some capillaries or something burst. Haven't had any since *knock on wood*
