Ga-dammit! another freaking nosebleed

[mdchesne]

remember my last post about the nosebleed about 4 days ago(was just typing and i got a puddle on my keboard for no reason, turns out i was bleeding)? I've been having concurant ones every day now! Once when I was talking to my boss (embarressing), one while I was in class (even more so...) and now, I'm sitting here, ready to go to class, and BAM! drip drip drip. unexpectidly. Somenthing's up. I don't know when they're coming... I'm almost afraid to go to class anymore

Take some vitamins and get some sleep?

Stop picking your nose?

Go to a doctor?


Edit:

Decided to be a bit more helpful. Go to WebMD and check out the various posts on nosebleeds. They're usually minor, like from dry weather or you bumped your nose or something, but sometimes can be because of something a bit more serious, like a polyp or something like that. If you've been taking a blood thinning pain killer (Aspirin) or nasal sprays that could be causing it.

Think about what might have changed in your lifestyle in the past few days since it started happening, try changing that and seeing if it helps, otherwise consider talking to your doctor. May be worth checking out.

Do you live/work in a place that has dry air? If so, try a humidifier at night.

yeah get urself to an ENT doc stat.

u might have a blood vessel that's too close to the surface. a little laser can cauterize that sucker for good.

Thats, what I orginally thought, that and too much cocaine. But seriously, a nosebleed everday means that something is screwed up in your head. Might want to get that checked out, so that everyone doesn't think you and Kate Moss hang out...

I get bloody noses all the time, the worst was when I got one while running. Goddamn that wouldn't stop bleeding. I think I need that cauterize opperation, I know my brother had it done but I just haven't bothered yet.

A big reason for repeat nose bleeds is because you didn't apply proper pressure after the first nose bleed, which leaves you susceptible to more nose bleeds from the same exact source the second something happens, IE you blow your nose.

How old are you? When I was a teenager I got them almost nightly 14-16 during which time I was going through an insane growth spurt. Went from the shortest kid in class to one of the tallest in less than a year.

didn't change my lifestyle recently. didn't bump my head or my nose. I think it's the dry weather. Oh, but i did a google on it and boxers recommend vaseline to stop em. I figure it'd also keep it moistened up in thar. so double :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I'm going to check out humidfiers today after classes. It's just freaky when you're sitting there, listening to the prof, and all of a sudden you got the drip drip drip going on.
