Answer 1

I don't think its allergies (but I'm no doctor)
It could have something to do with your blood pressure
Have you started any different medications lately?
I recommend that you go to a doctor asap

Answer 2

I used to get bloody noses ALL the time! It was gross, and inconvienent. The last time I had it, I went through 2 towels, and I was rushed to the emergency room very weak from the blood loss. They packed it and it drained into my stomach leaving me sick to my stomach. The next day I saw a specialist that cautaurized it and I have NEVER had another one again. Sometimes the blood vessels are weak, and they can use a tool to shut off the vessel or capillary that keep breaking open. Seek out and Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist and you'll feel much better! I haven't had a bloody nose in 20 years. I had them for 6 straight before I saw one! I was so happy that they were able to shut it off. The blood clots are so nasty! --By the way, allergies, and dry nose can cause it too. But your best bet is the specialist.

Answer 3

depends on how much blood there is. is it pouring out? or is there just some blood on a tissue? If it is pouring out you need to see a doctor. if there is just a little you probably have got some allergies, or your nose is too dry inside, or if you do drugs and snort them there is your problem, if you pick your nose you may be picking to hard( don't try digging so deep, there is no gold) or you may have gotten something in your nose like metal shavings, fiberglass, plastic, chemicals or glass: if you work near these things this could also be the problem. if the problem persists you should definately see a doc.

Answer 4

Without knowing how bloody your nose actually is, it's difficult to say. If your nose is oozing blood, I'd definately see a doctor, however if it is just some blood on the kleenex when you blow your nose it might just be an irritation from allergies or excessive nose blowing.

Answer 5

Sometime that happen when move to a city at a higher elevation, like Santa Fe, NM. It could be the medication that you are taking. Aspirin or blood thinners will cause you to have a bloody nose.

Answer 6

It could be any number of things. See your doctor. In my own experience, it happened to me the same way once. I went to the doc and it turns out that I had a small slice on the inside of my noise caused by dryness first then excessive sneezing from allergies. They cauterized it and it worked great. Hasn't happened again since. GL

Answer 7

i get bloody noses when the air is really dry. try using a saline spray (only a few bucks at Target or wherever)...make sure you don't use one that has steroids (I know Target brand doesn't) n that will moisten the inside of your nose....if that doesn't help, go to your doctor and get professional advice on it.
oh, and nothing's wrong with you (= just ran into some bad luck with your nose.

Answer 8

There is a thin walled vein in the nasal cavity which can be cauterized very easily.. had mine done when I was about 14 and never had another one for almost 60 years.

It may be intensified during hot weather, which could be elevating your blood pressure somewhat.

Answer 9

It could be blood-pressure related, or dry membranes, or weakened blood vessels in your nose. And I know sometimes it shows up in diabetics. But since you said this was sudden, I don't think it's that. See a doctor- and good luck!

Answer 10

Could be food allergies.
