Spontaneous night time nose bleed after hot bath

[Bikafella]

I woke up at 5 am this morning feeling uncomfortable and realised my nose was bleeding heavily. This went on for over half an hour before I could staunch it with toilet tissue. The only thing I can connect it with was that I had a very warm bath for about 40 mins before going to bed. I have to take a daily 75mg Aspirin daily to avoid risk clotting and generally it causes me no problems. Has anyone any thoughts on this.

Hi there. For future reference, after 15mins of having a nose bleed you need to go straight to A&E so they can put balloon packs up your nose to control the bleeding, this happened to me after a few day's of having my poylops removed from my nostrils...30mins of nose bleeding can make you feel lightheaded, or you could faint,that's why it's so important to goto A&E...The Asprin you have been taking thins the blood, so controlling your nose bleed was more difficult to stop, having a warm bath might of pushed blood pressure up, so that would cause a nose bleed having high blood pressure, do you know what your blood pressure is at the moment, mine was checked yesterday and it's highish 138/86 this reading was taken at 2pm...
