Nose bleeds are the body's way of dealing with high blood pressure at times. There are loads of blood vessels in the nose, near the internal surface. It's definitely not a sign you have high blood pressure, as that should be checked out properly out by a Dr with a sphigmomanometer. That's a blood pressure machine.
The coughing up blood is a more sinister sign and is not normal. It could be a sign of infection or tumour. Now do you see why it's so important to get it checked out.

I'd go to the doctor's first thing tomorrow. It's not normal - if you call a nose bleed & coughing up blood "normal", then stay home, but I'd be down the doctors like a shot. I wouldn't even wait til tomorrow - I'd go to A&E - tonight!!!

As the people have already said - go to the doc asap.
Let the doc advise if it is nothing or not.
It's the best way to get treatment for a problem which often when treated quickly can prevent further complications.
It is not normal to cough up blood. Best to see doc soonest.

Well, if this is happening because of drug usage, quit that $hit! If you can't quit, go to a hospital. In fact, regardless of the reason, just get to the hospital ASAP as this is NOT normal!
Good Luck!

If you've got time to faff about on here then there's not a lot wrong with you.Stop picking your nose and swallowing razor blades for starters.

coughing up blood is serious and should be treated straight away,it could be a stomach ulcer or worse,if left untreated it can eat into your stomach lining and make you very ill.
