I am 16 years old and i have had chronic nose bleeds for about 10 years. I have tried everything about 20 diffent doctors have said, and nothing has worked. I average 60-65 a week in a certain period of activity, i could be doing anything and it would just start. At nihgt, my parents swear that someone has slit my throat, because of the ammount of blood that i lose. The only sure why that i have found to stop a nose is too pack your nose with cotton or gause, and chill your nose and all the surronding areas down with ice. Thus causing the veins to constrict. Also 2 years ago, the doctors here did a complete septoplasty on me. My case is severe, but this might help some people with these problems.
