Lately my nose starts bleeding out of nowhere! I don't feel any different but it scares me because it's been happening often lately...is it serious?

Answer 1

Hi Island GIrl

Here are some answers on nose bleeds.

Cause
In adults, most nosebleeds occur due to trauma to in the form of blows to the nose. Other causes include blowing nose too forcefully; scratches from the fingernails; irritating crust formations due to colds, infections, or the flu; very dry atmospheric conditions; sudden changes in atmospheric pressure; and/or nutrient deficiencies (most commonly vitamin C and/or bioflavonoids). Reoccurring nose bleeds might be a sign of a disease condition, such as high blood pressure (hypertension), a tumor in the nose or sinuses, or an internal bleeding disorder.

Note: Blood thinners such as Coumadin or aspirin can cause nose bleed. If this happens, notify your doctor immediately.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Lemon, lavender, cypress, and/or frankincense essential oils can be helpful.

Diet: Eat foods such as watercress, dark green leafy vegetables, kale, and alfalfa, all of which are rich sources of vitamin K, which is essential for blood clotting.

Herbs: Use a snuff made from finely ground comfrey root or oak bark.

Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies including Hyoscyamus, Chamomilla, Rhus tox., Ipecac., Belladonna, and Hamamelis.


Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin C with bioflavonoids, especially rutin, should be taken on a daily basis if you are prone to nose bleed.

Topical Treatment: Once bleeding has stopped, squeeze the contents of vitamin E and vitamin A capsules into the lining of your nose to promote healing and prevent dryness. As an alternative, you can also use zinc oxide, aloe vera gel, or calendula ointment, and then place a small gauze piece against the gel.

Best of health to you

I think that's the most time anyone has said or typed some form of the word serious in a paragraph. I seriously think you deserve an award.

Answer 3

It could be because the air in your house is dry because of having the heat on. You should buy a humdifier. If that doesn't work see a doctor to make sure it is not serious.

could by lack of moisture in the air. winter time causes this problem a lot with being cooped up in the house with dry heat. maybe a surfaced blood vessel also.
