Nose Bleeds

This question can only be answered through a thorough medical exam. Weight loss, nose bleeds and dizziness can be linked to a large number of ailments or environmental factors.

Don't pick your nose.

It may if you don't hydrate yourself enough. I had a major nose bleed at the gym two days ago. My buddy and I were hammering reps like we had prior to starting creatine and 48 hours prior, and my nose started bleeding out of nowhere. I have no history of nose bleeds and haven't had one since I was in 7th grade (29 yrs old now). Also, I was coughing blood where it was going down the back of my throat. I'm a nurse and had symptomatic hypertension (headache, dizziness, and cranial pressure). My blood pressure 40 min after the bleed was 138/74. Normally it is in the lower 120's systolic. Creatine attracts water into your cells so you need more fluid to compensate your extracellular fluid plasma. It would be reasonable that this could cause hypertension with dehydration. Be careful with this supplement. I probably should have drank way more water than I had prior to arriving at the gym, but still with 1.5 hours of reps you can easily get dehydrated. Get a water bottle and be careful.

Yes, Topamax (topiramate) can potentially cause nosebleeds as a side effect, although this is not a common reaction. Changes in blood pressure or dehydration, both of which can occur with this medication, may contribute to this issue. If you experience frequent nosebleeds while taking Topamax, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

No, they shouldn't.

Personally, when I have a nose bleed, I stuff a small wad of cotton wool up into the offending nostril, and wait for the platelets in the blood to stem the flow.

If you have any concerns about your health, especially with symptoms that you have described you should seek medical attention right away. Something such as highblood pressure or a stroke could cause something like that and can happen to people of all ages. I am not a medical professional so again, let me advise you see a doctor if you have any concerns.

First thing what you can do is to press with a tissue on your nose. After be sure you stay in a comforable position with a cold compress over the nose.

you will start to bleed alot when nothing even happened.

Absolutely not. If it was a school fight or something it can be classified as Assault, but generally is not prosecuted.

However, if it was by a parent, it is child abuse. Today, phsyical punishment is looked down upon generally. Even spanking is under question, but all other forms of "punishment" are now illegal.

It isn't really unstoppable, but you can clog the blood for a while by pinching your nose just below the bone for fifteen to twenty minutes. You shouldn't pick your nose or mess with it so it unclogs it.

Nosebleeds will stop with pressure. Nasal sprays can help as they constrict the blood vessels. It is prescribed for people with problematic nosebleeds. You must be careful if you have high blood pressure or other health problems as specificed on the back of the bottle.

Decongestant nasal sprays work very well on even very bad nose bleeds. You should make sure, however, to purchase the "Pump Mist" type bottles vs the traditional type. Both will deliver the decongestant and stop the nose bleed, but the regular bottle can easily collect blood back inside if you're not careful.

don't let her take to much asprin. It's not good for her liver. Try advil if she needs a pain killer. I would go see a doctr asap. She might have pressure on her brain or something which could cause pain and bleeding on the nose. Just a thought. Go to a nurologist asap

Cold weather, dry weather...It dries out your nose.

This is actually quite a problem, with about 9% of 11-14 year olds experiencing recurrent nosebleeds for no apparent reason. Most will grow out of this before puberty.

In the mean time, it can be quite distressing both for the child and those looking after them. Drugs such as tranexamic acid are used to control heavy bleeding, especially with menstrual problems, but are not ideal for children. Another option is to regularly apply antiseptic cream. Particular creams for this purpose are available (Naseptin), or steroid sprays like Betnesol-N. Sadly, these treatments are rather unpredictable in their success.

The other option is, as you mentioned, cauterisation. This is often done with silver nitrate, but sometimes with a heat probe, and basically involves burning off the ends of the blood vessles to prevent them bleeding. Its quite successful but unfortunately can be really rather unpleasant.

The best thing is to see your family doctor and explain that this is still a problem. Obviously in severe bleeding, which does not stop, do not hesitate to get medical help.

I had severe nose bleeds when I was a child and they contiued up until a year ago. My 19 year old daughter was having them too!

I finally have them under control. Instead of a pediatrian, go visit an allergist. Have an allergy test kit done and see what is the real cause, instead of giving her any meds or trying the things that are not working. An allergist will TELL YOU WHY, and then you can have those under control in NO time.

HI I AM MELISSA MY DAUTER HAS NOSE BLEEDS SO BAD THAT SHE WOULD GAG ONES THAT MADE HER TROW UP MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TO TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITLE THEY SAID THAT YOU HAVE TO HOLD HER HEAD DOWN AND TAKE A PARER TOWEL AND PUT PRESHER FOR A LITTLE WILE I HOPED I HELPED BI!

I am 19 and have been experiencing persistent nosebleeds on and off for around 5 years. Usually it starts after I have had a cold and have been blowing my nose a lot and then I will have nosebleeds every day for the next few weeks! Although I have quite bad hayfever as well and sometimes just sneezing will bring it on.

I've had the cauterisation done 3 times on the same nostril... it seems to work for around 3 months but then the nosebleeds start again. The cauterisation is just sealing off the problem blood vessel, not getting rid of it completely. So the same vessel keeps becoming inflamed again and again! I am now considering surgery to get the bugger taken care of once and for all :)

Also look at any medications the child is on, though the doctor should have made note and avised you on this.

I had nosebleeds throughout my childhood. Turns out they were caused by the aspirin that was in Alka Seltzer I was taking because of chronic stomach problems.

Aspirin or any other blood-thinning medications can cause this. Also, make sure the child is not picking her nose behind your back. That can damage the lining of the nose, causing them to be more susceptible to bleeding.

hi it's the same with my girls.They have nose bleeds when the season changes and to stop the blood nose when it happens, is to put there or your head forwards and put an ice pack on the back of your neck as well as one on your forehead. Try NOT to put your head back because the blood goes in your throte and you will vomit.

See your doctor. As a child I was treated with Vitamin K pills and injections, and eventually a cauterization when I had my tonsils out. Maybe this was overkill and kids just outgrow them, I don't know. My mom used to put her silver butter knives in the freezer and put one alongside my nose and ice on the back of my neck while I laid flat.

My sister had really bad nose bleeds and so does my husband, my sister went to the doctor and he told her use a little bit of vaseline, it is because her skin inside her nose was so dry it cracked causing it to bleed, the vaseline helped keep her nose moisturized and it pretty much stopped the nose bleeds, helps my husband to...

I have heard that adding green vegetables to your diet will curtail the nose bleeds.

ANSWER: If your child has chronic nosebleeds you should have blood work done. They should check for bleeding disorders such as Von Willibrands Disease, if basic bloodwork

(PT/PTT/INR, PLATELET COUNT, WBC, HEMOGLOBIN)shows abnormalities.

I'm an R.N. with two kids that had chronic nosebleeds as kids. My daughters went away by around age 5, but my son continued to have them (less frequently now at 15 years old). Being a nurse, and knowing their dad had nosebleeds as a kid too, I would not have been surprised to find they had the Von Willibrand Factor. Neither did, but I surprisingly found out that my son had the Lupus Anticoagulant. (NOT lupus, sadly the name is somewhat of a misnomer, since people who do NOT have Lupus have this). It's a CLOTTING factor, but ironically in my son, causes nosebleeds.

So again, I would STRONGLY suggest anyone with chronic nosebleeds have bloodwork done, to rule out bleeding disorders, and or other medical causes.

Chemotherapy causes nose bleeds, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. You may experience any or all of these side affects

there could be many answers or explanations for this..anything from a tumor,a blow to the head or with some people excessive temperature changes..

but if your experiencing any of those symptoms i strongly suggest that you see your doctor immediately..

Yes, of course! When the sugar level raises, the liver has to work hard and this causes nose bleeds.

Coughing Blood = YES

Yes

It pretty much means that when boys (or it can be girls) see something perverted, their blood pressure rises instantly. They get aroused and blood just starts gushing from their nose. It's like an exaggerated blush. Or it could stand for an erection. Think about it- a kid is watching Soul Eater. Soul, sees a pretty girl and he suddenly gets this huge bulge in his pants. That would be soo wrong and scarring. So that's probably why it's a nosebleed.

sounds like strep throat...should see a doctor fast before it gets worse..even bronchittis...phnemonia sorry im a bad speller..lol

If you suffer with migrain headaches they are known to cause nose bleeds. I have suffered with migrains for 15 years. I have a lot of nosebleeds. The nose bleed can be another symptom of what is causing the headache. For instance in the winter, dry air can cause dehydration, which causes headaches, and the dry air causes the nasal passages to be more susceptable to nose bleeds. High blood pressure can cause both symptoms.
