when your nose bleeds....?

Question

does that mean you have high blood pressure?

Answer 1

No it doesn't. It can bleed for many reasons. One common reason is being around dry heat, or not changing your air filter often. When you breathe in dust and things like that, it's not good for your sinuses. I used to get nose bleeds all the time. I haven't had one in years, but sometimes when I blow my nose, alittle blood still comes out, and I have low blood pressure because of my size. I am small. If it is real bad, I would go get it checked.

Answer 2

Not necessarily...although a nosebleed in an adult may be a sign of hypertension. A nosebleed, medically known as epistaxis, has many etiologies. Depending on the age of the patient, it could mean a blood disorder, a nasal infection, capillary fragility of the nose, or a nasal polyp. You should also look for accompanying signs or symptoms if you have frequent nosebleeds (i.e. unilateral nasal obstruction, trauma, etc.) and report these to your doctor so he/she can arrive at an accurate diagnosis.

Answer 3

Not always. Sometimes heat or a hit to the nose can rupture those fragile little blood vessels it don't take much even picking your nose can bring on the blood works!
