I just had a noce bleed. It was realllly bad. I dont get them that often. i rubbed my nose really lightly and all of a sudden blood was gushing out, not just a little bit of a dab here and there. if i took the tissue away from my nose it would run down my face. (Sorry to be so graphic) at the end of it i blew my nose cause i felt like it was clogged and a big chiunk of blood came out. is that normal? it was like a big blood blob all formed together. and after igot that out the bleeding stopped. is that normal?

Yes- this would be the blood clot. If you get nosebleeds this easily, it's possible that you have a blood vessel that is too close to the skin. If this happens all the time I would see your doctor to get it cauterized.

What are the symptoms of a Nose Bleed ?
Bleeding from one or both nostrils.
Frequent swallowing.
Sensation of fluid flow in the back of the nose and throat.
How can a Nose Bleed be diagnosed?
A thorough medical history for previous bleeding, high blood pressure, liver diseases, use of anticoagulants, nasal trauma, family history of bleeding etc. should be taken.
Analysis of blood coagulation parameters.
Measurement of the blood pressure and X-rays of the skull and sinuses maybe necessary.
How can Nose Bleed be treated ?

Local procedure
Pinch all the soft parts of the nose together between the thumb and index finger. Hold the nose for at least 5 minutes (timed by the clock). Repeat as necessary until the nose has stopped bleeding. Apply ice (crushed in a plastic bag or washcloth) to nose and cheeks. For dryness of the nose ointments can be applied. Nasal packs are used when conservative methods fail. Cauterization (the application of a heated instrument or caustic chemical to tissue to stop bleeding) may be required if bleeding persists or recurs.
Do's and Dont's
Avoid blowing of the nose or putting anything into it. If one feels like sneezing, keep the mouth opened so that the air will escape out the mouth and not through the nose.
Do not strain during bowel movements.
Try to keep the head higher than the level of the heart.
Do not strain or bend down to lift anything heavy.
Do not smoke.
Stay on a soft cool diet. No hot liquids for at least 24 hours.
Do not take any medications which will "thin the

When you get a nose bleed lay down (so your blood won't be coming out) and use a wet napkin and put it over your nose.
