Unexplained nose bleeds

[Topkat11]

Hi all. I've never had a nose bleed before. However I have had 3 since yesterday morning, I do have a nebuliser but haven't had nose bleeds after using one any ideas as to what's causing them.

Hi Topkat, do you use any nasal sprays for rhinitis or hayfever?

Hi Maggie no I don't, & that's what concerns me, before the bleed I bent down to pick something up, so my own conclusion would be a burst blood vessel in the nasal passage, I also felt dizzy and got a headache after. If it happens again I'll pop to the doc's. Thank you for your help

There has been one occasion when I did get unexplained nose bleeds. Like you, I asked the forum if anyone had any idea what might be causing them. I do use nasal sprays, but only on an as and when required basis. The bleeds that I associated with use of them were also slight. So when I got a significant nosebleed for no reason (I hadn’t been using my nasal spray) I was a little concerned, particularly when I also began to cough up blood. The suggestion from someone on the forum was to get it checked out with the doctor - which I did. I didn’t feel dizzy or get headaches though.

Can I suggest you make an appointment to see your doctor about this anyway. Don’t wait for it to happen again. It’s obviously not normal for you, so get it checked out.

Thanks Maggie, your right, 😉 anything out of the ordinary is the body telling you that something isn't quite right. I've made an appointment on my GP's system on line. Can't get one till 24th of May. However if it happens again before. I will go into the surgery & let them know that I can't wait. 👍Thank you for your help x
