Nose bleed?

[Xenom0rph]

Evening team.

I’ve always had trouble with my sinuses even before all of this liver nonsense but I’ve never had a nose bleed.

I can always tell when my sinuses are dodgy as it’s a familiar pressurised feeling behind the nose then when it starts to clear, my sinuses drain the infection away.

Today was that day, usual blowing out gunk from my nose but this time the gunk got thinner and thinner turning to a thin yellow colour and I’ve just had what I can only describe as very watery blood from the infected side.

I know this can by symptomatic of the conditions I have but should I take this more seriously?

Thank you.

Hi Xen, don't worry about it. As your liver recovers you'll get less bruising and bleeding. My children get nosebleeds occasionally from their sinus troubles, watery usually means it's from irritation to the nasal passages.

Thanks for that. I've had this before where the viscosity of the fluid is very thin so I know it's just the infection clearing off but never blood.

When is your next appointment?

[Xenom0rph in reply to Bootandall]

Liver specialist on the 30th August but blood pressure check on the 10th

I think if it is just streaks you can relax, if it is clots or gushing it would be a good idea to call the doctor. After all, this has been an awful day for you and your family, I hope you can get some rest.

Thanks. Aye it's been a tough day.

Has stopped bleeding now with only the occasional show when I need to blow my nose. See how tonight and tomorrow go.

Hi Xenom0rph

Unfortunately, no one on the forum is medically able to assess you. We would suggest that you consider seeing your own GP so that they can safely examine you.

Warm wishes

Thanks. I wasn't asking for an assessment really. More if anyone else had experienced similar and had it linked to any condition

No bleeds since around 20pm last night so should be good hopefully. I'll mention it if course

Take care
