Nose Bleeds

Causes

  • Nose injury
  • Dryness of inside of the nose due to dry atmospheric weather
  • Hard activity
  • High blood pressure
  • Exposure to high altitudes
  • Blowing your nose too hard

What to do if you get a nosebleed

  • Sit down
  • Lean slightly forward to prevent blood from running into your throat.
  • Place cold, wet clothes on your nose to constrict the blood vessels in your nose and stop the bleeding.
  • If blood is coming from only one nostril, press firmly at the top of that nostril.
  • If both nostrils are bleeding, pinch your nostrils together for at least 10 minutes.
  • If bleeding continues, apply pressure for another 10 minutes.
  • If the bleeding is the result of direct injury to the nose, only gentle pressure should be applied.
  • If heavy bleeding persists or if nosebleeds recur frequently, consult a doctor
