What causes nose bleeds?

Question

I know too much sniffing does and having a dry nose but does extremely dry hot weather cause them too?

I have had three nose bleeds today!

Answer 1

altitude change, season change, and cocaine. WHICH ONE!!!!!

Answer 2

YES, very dry air causes nosebleeds. I used to get nosebleeds a lot as a child. My nosebleeds used to keep me up at night and my mother would have to apply pressure to the bridge of my nose and tip my head back to stop the blood flow. She recommends taking Vaseline and applying it all inside of your nostrils to keep the moisture inside. If you have a really bad problem with it, you may want to see a doctor about having it quarterized. Other people get nose bleeds from high altitudes or cocaine use.

Answer 3

Causes of nosebleeds or epistaxis:

inherited genetic disorder
Vit k deficiency or calcium deficiency - needed for clotting
an uneven shoulder muscles from sideways spinal curvature (scoliosis) and pectus excavatum causing constricted blood vessels

Other Causes:

Trauma to the nose (nose picking, foreign bodies, forceful nose blowing).

The most common cause of a nose bleed is drying of the nasal membranes.

Tumors, particularly malignant tumor of the nose or sinuses.

The incidence of nosebleeds is higher during the colder winter months when upper respiratory infections are more frequent, and the temperature and humidity fluctuate more dramatically
.
Use of "blood thinning medications" called anti coagulants.

Recurrent nosebleeds may be a symptom of an underlying disorder such as high blood pressure.

Inflammation of the nose or sinuses and cold may cause a nose bleed.

Deviated septum (when the partition between your nose is crooked),

foreign objects in the nose, or

other nasal obstruction may also cause nosebleeds.


Hot weather or dry air may also increase the likelihood of nosebleed. Allergy may cause nosebleeds. High altitude may cause nosebleeds.Dry air tends to cause damage to sinus membranes over time.


The other main cause is dryness of the inside of the nose. A dry climate or heated indoor air irritates and dries out nasal membranes, causing crusts that may itch and then bleed when picked

I have had long hair my entire life and have never had a nose bleed, ever. The air, where you live, allergies...things like that can cause a nose bleed, not long hair.

Answer 5

It could be the dry weather you may be experiencing for example if you happen to be in Southern California with all the fires. Or it could be you hurt your nose without noticing. And lastly it could be that you might have high blood pressure if you happen to be under a lot of stress.

Answer 6

Go to an ent (Ears nose and throat doctor) If they keep happening. He will look for small holes in a vain in your nose. If he finds one, he'll start by chemically cauterizing it, which is just making a scab on it. If you leave it alone, it should help.

Answer 7

There are many things that cause nosebleeds: allergies, blood pressure, thin vein walls, objects, picking, etc. If it is a real problem go see an ENT [ear nose throat] dr.

Answer 8

Yes, it does not have to be cold, wintery weather to dry out your nasal passages. I would suggest that you go to the drug store and purchase one of those saline nasal sprays. They will help keep your nasal passages moist, which in turn helps keep your nose from bleeding.

Answer 9

extreme heat and stress can trigger nose bleeding

Answer 10
