Yes, high blood pressure can cause frequent nose bleeds, but if this is happening, then you should see your doctor.

It's a combination. Partly due to a simple vein in the nose. Higher blood pressure in your head breaches the vein wall. I had one cauterized to stop frequent nose bleeds in the winter and from a rise in blood pressure. Dry tissues would crack the vessels coming from my sinus floor. I had it done about 10 years ago and maybe have only one a year now. I was very happy with the results after healing. One thing I wish I'd had tried is warm nasal rinse.
A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It soothes with warmth, it draws out the entire gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean, but without the eye stinging). It will help with nasal dryness and also heal damage.
Buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot
You can do this as often as you like with no side effects

It is because the vessels in the nose are close to the surface. If your blood pressure is high and you are experiencing a nose bleed that can not be controlled you should seek medical attention for a cautery or packing ASAP!

not neccesarily because it could just be a result of the cold weather.
