What are some common reasons for getting a bloody nose?

Question

I have gotten 2 bloody noses (maybe 3) in the past couple months. I never used to get them, I'd say the last time was 10 years ago. And it is in only 1 nostril (my right). Any particular reasons? I don't pick my nose as I've found on the internet could cause this. Are there any causes like a high salt intake or high cholesterol? I do have high blood pressure but it is regulated with a prescription.

Answer 1

the small vesels inside your nose get broken, for different causes could be allergies, sinus, brain something, blood pressure, headaches, many more, hit your nose... etc, you were rough cleaning your nose, dry nose can cause too,
if is too often you have to go to the doctor.

Answer 2

High blood pressure. Also Sinus Infections.

Answer 3

Allergies might be one reason, also some people have very thin skin inside their nostrils, my brother had this problem and had the veins in his nose cauterized to stop the nosebleeds.

Answer 4

Sometimes you can just have weak blood vessles at certain time of the year, which can lead to nose bleeds. It can also depened on how much you blow your nose. That sounds a bit dumb, but w.e im answering your question!! =]

Answer 5

sinus's will do it , or the small blood Vasilis in your nose may break even if you blow your nose , i had to go to the doctor and he said i had a deviated septum and he cauterized the Vasilis and it stopped

Answer 6

Answer 7
