strange bleeding?

Question

for the past three nights I have gotten a nosebleed and a little bit of blood in my mouth. First of all, I rarely get nosebleeds.
Could the blood in my mouth be from my nose? it seems to be bleeding from deep inside. These only last for a few minutes
any ideas?*


*serious answers only

oh yes, I forgot to add, I have no alergies

Answer 1

Change of weather can cause it especially when we stay inside to do cold weather and have a heater on. Dry heat inside sometimes effect the nose. Blood in the mouth could be from the nose.
If it does continue over a week you should see the doctor.

Answer 2

The nosebleeds could be due to a sudden dryness in the air, or for just no reason at all. My boyfriend sometimes gets nosebleeds at random, and even though I almost never do, when I do, I get them one days that are all in a row, usually two or three, so that sounds pretty normal, but if it continues for a week or more I would look into it.
As for the mouth, I can't really understand what you mean, do you have any idea where the blood is coming from? And if it is in your mouth, how did you find out?
Think about these:
Was it enough to taste? Did you cough blood? Did you feel any pain?
If any of these are true then you MIGHT have a problem.
But since it occurred at the same time[I am assuming] as the nosebleed, I think there is a good chance that it seeped down your throat and somehow got in your mouth.
Or your gum might have bled coincidently at the same time, but it's rather unlikely.

Answer 3

Given your history of no allergies and no nosebleeds, you have obviously suddenly developed some sort of a reaction to something around you. depending on the gravity of the response, you shuld see a doctor immediately to get hold of a professional opinion.
And yes the chances are very high that the blood from your nose goes to your mouth. Sudden nosebleeds are more often than not the result of suddenly acquired allergies.
Please do go to a doctor soon.
Cheers.

Answer 4

all of these answers are pretty good, what I do when this happens to me is put a little petroleum jelly in my nose just before I go to bed. Keeps things nice and moist. The taste you are getting is the blood draining down the back of your throat. If you should wake up wit a bloody nose, take a paper towel tear a 2" wide strip and fold it up and place under your upper lip (shorten it to size) this will stop the bleeding like turning off a faucet. You may have a thinned wall, a Dr can cauterize it and strengthen it, oh yeah Ibuprofen will cause blood thinning as well as aspirin

Answer 5

Registered Nurse here; Most likely the blood in your mouth is from your nosebleed, the nose drains either directly down your throat, or out your nostrils. Sounds as if something has irritated the inside mucous membranes of your nostrils, possible sinus infection. Observe yourself, for elevated temperature, nausea, lack of appetite, also observe your nasal secretions you blow out for color, if greenish, this is a sign of bacterial infection. Really sounds like a moderate irritation, however if the nose bleed continues through the weekend, or increases in amount. I strongly encourage you to make an appointment with your physician. Also no petroleum jelly, this is oil based and can cause one to have difficulty breathing, plus with it being oil based, dont want to use it with a humidifier either for this supports combustion.
Thanks for the opportunity to address such a well worded and important question.

Answer 6

ughh have been taking any aspiren etc..cuz that may cause it
or something else that may thin the blood out like too much salt?
some people also get nosebleeds from stress..so is there something stressing u out..or if u accidently scratch the inside of your nose.

you can get blood in your throat..and thats y they tell you to tilt your head forward not back when its bleeding or it will run down your throat..

the good thing is the bleeding is not lasting long..
if the bleeding lasts for a more than 10 min i would ask a doctor

Answer 7

You are not going to get away with not going to a Doctor if you continue to get spontaneous sinus bleeders. There are some big blood vessels in the sinus area, and if there is one that has a weak wall for some reason, you could have a potenitally dangerous bleed.

If they continue to happen - see a doctor.

The only other suggestion I can think of is to perhaps try a saline nasal spray before going to bed. Drier winter weather could be causing your sinus tissue to dry out and crack - resulting in the bleeders. Saline sinus spray is readily available in any good supermarket. No prescription is required.

Having suggested that, if you stil have nose bleeds at night and are using the spray - seek out a doctor for advice.

Answer 8

Same thing happened to me once, like the previous answerer said, the air is too dry. There are many possibilities though, I'm just saying from experience. I have 377890/432473 exp, close to LVL UP !!

Get a humidifier, theyre masters of television, those humidifiers are good. Good humidifiers if they could walk and talk theyd be cooler/

Answer 9

I'd say it's probably from your nose. if there's not a humidifier on your furnace you're probably breathing in extremely dry air - that will cause your air passages (inside your nose and the back of your throat) to dry out and crack -especially while you're sleeping and not keeping your mouth closed.

Answer 10

It's probably just dry air causing the mucous membranes in your nose to dry out and crack. The blood in your mouth is probably from your nose - it only has to run down your nasopharynx and into your mouth. I would recommend either getting a humidifier or applying some petroleum jelly to each nostril before going to bed (or you could do both).
