Avatar m tn Some people get nose bleeds every time the weather changes. Others because their blood is too thin. Others just because the house is too dry. Can't tell from what you said. Check the info on your meds to see if that sheds some light on the matter. (my grandson gets a nose bleed just before it rains.
Avatar f tn My husband also has heart failure and has been having nose bleeds. We took him to ER, They looked up his nose with a small light , walked out of the room, came back with a bottle of nose spray. Afrin, slammed it on the table, said use this 2 times a day, for allergies and walked out. We wait 10 minutes for someone to come with discharge papers, no one ever did. So we walked out.
Avatar f tn Warfarin is all he takes and also statin for cholesterol. He has done well although he has had nose bleeds that required rare ER visits.
612551 tn?1450022175 As for the level of Coumadin/Warfarin, I get a coagulation blood test about every month and I am normally in range for an INR between 2 and 3. I have been using Warfarin for many years and only after the troublesome nose bleed a couple of months back did I start getting some blood when blowing nose hard.. and only on the left side, the side that had the bleed problem. There must be something weak on that blood barrier.
315318 tn?1353251800 I agree that you may be over medicated on aspirin, and especially if you are having nose bleeds. The danger is internal bleeding (abdomen, bowels, brain, etc) and there may not be any warning until an emergency condition and that could be fatal. I take a 80mg aspirin, and had a wisdom tooth pulled. It took awhile to control the bleeding, but told to bite down on a tea bag to help stop the bleeding. For an internal surgery, it is recommended to be off antiplatelets for 7 days.
Avatar n tn Futher to discussion re warfarin & eyebleeds (bleeds in eye), I have fairly frequent eybleeds which I find rather scary! The bleed usually continues for at least 2 days & takes over a week to clear. They have become worse & more frequent since I started on warfarin 2005. My INR tends to fluctuate & on 17/12/08 was 2.37. My current warfarin dose is 8 mg daily. Does this problem get worse over time?
696509 tn?1227918214 But no matter the answer you need to speak with your doctor in regards to the nose bleeds and find out what is causing them. A heart rhythm disorder would not cause your nose to bleed.

Avatar f tn Ive been having a lil cramping and nose bleeds ia this normal?
Avatar m tn Is is possible not to notice if someone has brain tumor and he just having constant nose bleeds? A friend I knew had a heart valve 11 years ago and just recently died of a brain tumor is it possible for the constant nose bleeds from tumors to go unnoticed if he was taking coumadin?
Avatar m tn I have been given a second chance at life and not sure what that life will look like except I have severe nose bleeds and must be still and not doing anything strenuous during these times. I had wasting and all the other symptoms of liver disease. Being HVC free means I won't get worse but recovery from the damage done by it seems more daunting than I had anticipated. My focus is no longer on dying and more on living and I see I have a long road to go now.
641243 tn?1235752084 Retrievers get nose bleeds alot it seems. I have friends with retrievers and they get nose bleeds for no apparent reason three or four times a year. You are assuming the worst prematurely. You obviously care for Wentworth very much to have spent the money that you have so far for medical emergencies. A few drops of blood is not an emergency at this point. Does he seem to be acting normal? Eating, drinking, etc.
4874331 tn?1361466885 In my first and second trimester my nose was sooo dry and I have gotten several nose bleeds ya its normal but if u r worried about it u can talk to your doctor
Avatar f tn My son gets nose bleeds ALL the time. So bad I've taken him to the doctor. Holding your head back and applying pressure to the bridge of your nose is how i always used to treat them ...its actually not right. You are now supposed to hold your head forward and squeeze the tip of your nose....also use a qtip and put some vaseline inside....that will help with the dryness....
Avatar n tn I've always gotten nose bleeds real easy and I'm not anemic.... Most of the time. A quick and easy way to stop them is to lean over a sink and just let it run. With your thumb and pointer finger start at the point of your nose and move them back till you find your nasel bone and put pressure on the bottom of the bone and push up towards your eyes. This stops it almost immediately. Next I splash cold water on my face and clean the sink.
Avatar n tn I only get them when i blow my nose (i feel like my nose is stuffy but its usually not and it only bleeds for a few mins) and its only when im pregnant..
613102 tn?1220843776 I started to get nose bleeds from habitually fussing with my nose, which became very dry and irritated from working in a place with a strong fan blowing 24/7. Air conditioning can cause the vessels in your nose to enlarge and stick out like varicose veins, so they are apt to get badly scratched. I also have sinusitis, which produces constant nasal dripping and a hard, thin crust that's difficult to remove.
Avatar f tn I was taking a shower this morning and my nose started to randomly bleed and I eventually got it to stop and after I got out of the shower I blew my nose and then the other side started to bleed. Is his normal?
Avatar f tn Any of you having nose bleeds? Im 7 weeks and each time i blow my nose, i have a cold n runny nose, blood comes out.
Avatar f tn s time to move on with living and tuck some things away, and take them out and look at them in a more productive way and remember them with a smile instead of sadness and tears (not that there is anything wrong with tears!!) thanks for listening.
Avatar f tn Anyone else getting nose bleeds? I've never been prone to em but this past week I've been having them like every morning..
Avatar n tn Never ever in my life has my nose bled. But here lately my nose bleeds. And everytime i blow my nose theres blood. Im 19 weeks. And they said u would have increased amount of flemn or snot. Sorry cant remember the word. But are nose bleeds normal?
Avatar f tn Hi ladies, are nose bleeds normal while pregnant. I've had 3 so far and it's all happening during my third trimester? Should I be worried?
Avatar f tn Im 18+3 and i have had 2 nose bleeds, and wake up with dried blood in my nose very often.
Avatar f tn It can be normal for some women! I have those and nose bleeds! Some peoples vessels are closer to the surface than other, so when the increase of progesterone is being pumped througg our veins, they expand. When close to the surface they rupture causing nose bleeds and/or bleeding gums. When I first found out I was like "of course I would get this wonderful symptom" haha!!!
Avatar f tn I use to get pretty bad nose bleeds it was horrible because of my sinuses , it also has to do with your nose being dry , so most women do experience it , if its becoming a problem for you just talk to your doctor
Avatar f tn What do you ladies do for nose bleeds this is my first one ever I never had them before pregnancy so I would like to know what some of you do for them
Avatar f tn Your body is producing more blood for you and the baby so it's normal to have a random bloody nose here and there but if it becomes to excessive, you should notify your dr. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids to keep your body hydrated.
