When you get it stopped,make a note to yourself to see a doctor about the nose bleed.You may have a serious problem(Or long fingernails).


Yes,you are going to die.




I thought you knew that.

Stick a wad of cotton (or clean paper towel, cloth, anything that is clean) up your nose, stay still, hold your head up and apply pressure on/over the bleeding part for 1~2min. That should stop the bleeding, if it doesn?t then repeat the steps and put pressure on it for five minutes...If it doesn?t stop then you may need to see a doctor.

Nosebleed is very common in dry climate, sudden change of temperature, or altitude. You can?t really prevent it, but it might help if you drink more water when the climate is dry & cold.

PS. You might want to breath through you mouth during the pressure applicating duration ;)

Never hold your head up/back when your nose is bleeding. The blood can drain into your lungs I believe..it doesn't always go down your throat.

You have to apply a lot of pressure to it and bend your head down.

I used to get nose bleeds all the time with my allergies, and this was the most effective way. I often also felt sick after tilting my head back. Fortunatley, I grew out of these for the most part.

Have you ever had this problem before?

kami,

You don't hold your head back far enough to let the blood bleed into your lung. And, you should see a doctor if enough blood get to your lung to make you sick from it, because it could be a sign that the blood is not clotting.

I mentioned those problems went away when I started stopping the bleeding like I mentioned above. I don't get them any more anyway.

(btw, they told me to stop it like that at the hopsital...it's not something that I made up...and NO I wasn't at the hopsital for a nose bleed :p )

Sheesh...

crayon - "or something of similar circumference" under your upper lip.
let it stay there for about 30 minutes.

The NB will go away. Everything else is a little on the far side.
