could your nose ever bleed so much that you would die?

Answer 1

seriously stop picking your nose

Answer 2

Yes, it's possible. Epistaxis is the medical word for nose bleed. I have seen people with such severe nose bleeds that hospitalization for anemia was necessary. If a severe nose bleed is not stopped by medical means, the person could eventually bleed to death.

Answer 3

Yes but would depend on why it is bleeding.

I know a man who was trimming nose hair and clipped an artery. He nearly bled to death before his wife found him.

But for normal nose bleeds it's probably highy unlikely.

Answer 4

I guess it is possible.
However; if you know the right remedies it won't happen
Tilt your head back, pinch the narrow part of your nose together. Use an ice pack....ice will stop the bleeding when nothing else seems to work.

Answer 5

Unless your a hemophiliac your blood should coagulate.

Update: Everyone on here got a thumbs down even the nurse, everyone except the advice to stop nose picking, what exactly would they suggest is the correct answer???

Answer 6

You could die if you are any one of this:
hemophiliac, diabetic, also in case of sun stroke your nose could bleed profusely and you could die. But in normal circumstances its not so serious.

Answer 7

Yep, I have to live on coumadin(a blood thinner) and I have had to go to the emergency room for a bad nose bleed - they have to cauterize your membranes. It is digusting.

Answer 8

Actually yes, I think. There have been some very rare cases reported. But unless you majorly broke something in there I doubt it.

Answer 9

i have never even hade a nose bleed

Answer 10

1 word NO
