Why is my nose bleeding so much?

[Vetzrah]

Hello,

Starting yesterday I began experiencing extremely bloody nose bleeds that come on all of a sudden. I was just sitting under a bush when my nose started spilling large drops of blood yesterday, until it was all over my hands and pants and face. It was kind of funny checking into my hostel because they seemed concerned. It then happed last night and again this morning- is there any common reason this could be happening? I noticed my nose is usually plugged all night.

Thanks!

Is the air dramatically drier that what you are accustomed to?

I have a long history of nose bleeds. Situations like very dry environments such as in an aircraft or lots of nose breathing.

Anyway, that is me and not you. If it continues and is unusual for you then please see a doctor.

Yeah, that makes sense.. I live in a temperate rainforest at home so it’s a lot dryer here. I don’t know why it would come on after 7 days of being here though

I really don't know, but this is probably not the place to ask. There are health centres (Centro de Salud) in many places in Spain, which I assume is where you are. If you go to one of these you can ask a medical professional. If you have a European Health Insurance Card you will be treated as if you were Spanish. If not it will still be free or very cheap.
Even if you don't speak Spanish it should be fairly obvious why you are there if you walk in dripping blood.
Whilst it may well be trivial it's probably a good idea to get it looked at. By a real doctor, not doctor Google

It happens to me one week after our winter weather comes. It will stop if that is what it is.

Some of the places that I stayed in were a bit musty. I use an antihistamine nasal spray before going to sleep to get rid of the stuffed nose in the morning. This may be related to your blood noses but please don't use the nasal spray to medicate your blood noses.

See a doctor. Now. If it is serious, they will treat it. If it is not serious, they will reassure you. Win win.

I read you were in Estella on Friday.So I guess you are around Logroño , Najera or Santo Domingo de la Calzada.

Excellent places to see a clinic or a centro de salud tomorrow!
Really you should take the time for a visit.

Vetzrah - you are asking in the wrong place, you need to go into a pharmacy or see a doctor and ask them - there could be many reasons for nose bleeds.

 

[dbier]

When you go, a doctor will want to know 3 things:
Has this ever happened before?
What other symptoms do you have?
What medications or vitamins or supplements do you take, and how long have you been taking each?

see a doctor, not the internet

I am no doctor but have experienced that due to the usage of a CPAP mask..the insides of the nose become very dry…and the way to prevent that is using Vaseline type of product.

This might be perfectly safe for your condition but please we should be very careful giving advice when using a certain product/medication.

IMO the only way to find some answers is for @Vetzrah to go to a health professional.

 

[Pathfinder075]

It can be caused by many things, but if you don't have a history of whatever is afflicting you and if it is serious in nature (chest pains, drooping face, broken limbs, severe pain, blood loss, etc) then it's time to seek the services of a professional that can advise you or treat you better than a bunch of people on a bulletin board.

Good luck.

Not a good idea. This is how lipids get deposited at the base of your lungs . Saline drops if you need them.

Not a doctor but it could be a blood pressure issue or excessive heat will cause it. I would be checked out.

 

[Luz de Luna]

There are water based gel products made for keeping your nose moist, if that doesn’t work see a doctor.

We can have lay persons' conversations about medical conditions, and some "common sense" suggestions here on the forum. However the title question is asking for a diagnosis, and should be asked of a doctor. Further responses would seem to go beyond that, so I will close this thread.
