blood nose every day! - General Health Message Board

I am scared to blow my nose because if I do just a little I get a bloody nose in my right nostril every time. And it bleeds and bleeds...

Every day. If I stick my finger up there right now it will bleed. And I have bad headaches what is going on...is anyone else experiencing this. I live in Michigan so I know that the dryness in the air plays a big role but dang!

Two things that I could think of ; 1, need for a humidifier or 2, High blood pressure. I think it might be high blood pressure.

I agree with #2 ~ sounds like High Blood Pressure especially since you are having headaches which is another sign of high blood pressure. I suggest you go to the doctor to have this checked out.

Good Luck ~ Goody

I agree too that it may be your blood pressure. Just recently I had a couple nosebleeds and headaches and I have had blood pressure problems for about a year. I went to the dr to see if it was elevated, and it wasn't. My doc said just to get a humidifier to help the dryness.

Also, stop blowing your nose so much. Your nose after bleeding will have a clot that actually breaks back open. This makes your nose bleed again. I know its scary, but get to the dr, and be safe!!

some people have very thin skin in the nose area which means any irritation can cause the nose to bleed.. Try saline spray and a humidifier.. if your sinuses are inflamed from being dry that can also cause headaches. If that doesn't help after a few days, see the doc.
