Have I burst my ear drum?

[Narnat,]

I woke up and their was blood on my pillow so I automatically assumed that I had a nose bleed then when I went into the bathroom I saw blood down the side of my face leading from my ear. It was quite a lot thought it wasn't just like a little dribble. :S

I think you'd know about it if you'd burst an eardrum, you'd have pain and loss of hearing but probably not blood - certainly not enough to flow down your face. Most likely there's a scratch inside your ear somewhere

No, you'd know if you burst your eardrum. The pain is apparently excruciating

[Narnat,]

Oh thank you! Maybe it is just a scratch

when there's lots of pressure in your head you can get ear bleed's. Unless they continue it's not something to worry about tbh. Actually benefits you because it's releaving it :).

I always get like... a few nose bleed's a month in the summer because of the stuffiness of the weather... like while i have a shower due to the steam.
