Nose Bleeds?

[paul4wolves]

Okay, today I went up town and got myself 3 mc donalds because I was well hungry (im not fat, trust) and like 4 hours later I had this mega long nose bleed (40 mins) I think it may be high blood pressure? What can I do except not eat Mc donalds because they are so nice. Also how do I check for high blood pressure?

What causes them?
Nosebleeds are caused by the rupture of a small blood vessel called a capilliary in the nose.
The most common cause of this is injury - a good bash to the nose will result in bleeding.
The other main cause is dryness of the inside of the nose. A dry climate or heated indoor air irritates and dries out nasal membranes, causing crusts that may itch and then bleed when picked.
Other causes of nosebleeds are colds, high altitude, allergies and medications.
Nosebleeds can also result from a calcium deficiency.
Occasionally, nosebleeds may indicate other disorders such as bleeding disorders, cancer, high blood pressure or disease of the arteries.
They can also indicate hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia, also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome. This is a disorder involving a vascular growth similar to a birthmark in the back of the nose.

1. If you are prone to nosebleeds, check the humidity in your house, and increase it to the normal range. Keep the heat low (60-64 degrees) in your bedroom.
2. Keep nostrils moist. Take a shower and breathe deeply to get moisture into your nose. Then put petroleum jelly on the inside of the nose to keep it moist. A saline solution spray will also help.
3. Limit blood thinners. Aspirin, vitamin E, Coumadin, heparin, garlic, ginger and ginseng are blood thinners. If you must use blood thinners, inform your doctor about the nosebleeds.
4. Daily consumption of citrus fruit can help eliminate recurring nosebleeds. The bioflavonoids (a class of antioxidants) found in the fruit, seem to help with the prevention. Bioflavonoids help strengthen the blood vessels which makes them less likely to rupture. Take 500 mg of bioflavonoids twice a day if you do not eat several servings of fruit daily.
5. Avoid foods that may give you a severe allergic reaction, such as milk and wheat.
6. Putting a few drops of castor oil, vitamin E or zinc oxide in your nose each day will prevent recurring nosebleeds.
7. Avoid spicy foods and fried foods.
8. Don't scratch your nose very hard, especially if the inside is sensitive, or your nose is very dry.

There's your problem, sort your diet out man. You'll have reprocussions if you don't when your older.

I have the same problem but without Mc Donalds involved Yuck ...Well my nose has been broken like about 5times due to boxing and at random times it starts bleeding :S
And it just isn't a little blood its like a SEA but the doctor give me these tablets and it really helps by making the blood cells stronger
