frequent nose bleeds!??? help
 hello. i am a 36 year old male and my nose has been bleeding for 6 days now off and on. it started on sunday. i sneezed and all of a sudden blood started pouring out of my nose like you were pouring a cup of water. i pinched my nose and the bleeding wouldn't stop. after about 20 minutes i had my wife drive me to the hospital. it was coming out of both nostrils and going down my throat. by the time went got to the hosiptal it had stopped and we only talked to a nurse and he said to go to an ent because he didn't know anything about and that we should go see an ent. monday i was drozzy all with pressure behind my right eye and the top of my head felt like it was burned. tuesday we went to see a speialist and all he did was look up my nose for 2 seconds and cauterized one spot with the chemical sulfer nitrate. 4 hours later my nose was bleeding again. we would get it to stop then 30 minutes later it would start again. after the 5th time we went to the hospital. however when we get to the hospital it stopped bleeding. the doctors there cauterized it again in two different spots with the chemcal. then they stuck a nose plug up into my nostril and said that will stop it and to have it taken out in a couple of days. they did blood work and said eerything was fine. 36 hours later blood started running down my throat and out the nostril with the plug. we went to the hospital for the third time. they took out the plug and called in a specialist(ent) to check it out. before the doctor even look at me they brought in a welder looking machine and needles. so they already knew what they were going to do before the even look to find out what the problem was. the doctor shot novacane into my nose 3 times and cauterized it with and electrical charge. (monopolar) then she put some fiber to help clot the blood up there. she told us that will do the trick and that we had to see her again in a week. the next day my nose again started to bleed. now, i haven't sneezed, i haven't blew my nose nothing the whole time this is happening. i spit out huge blood clots and the come out me nose too. i have headaches and still pressure in me face on my right side. we stop the blood, then again in a couple minutes it would start again. so we went back to the hospital where again they look at us like we are stupid for being there. they did nothing and said we have to wait all weekend to see another specialist. so, it is still bleeding off and on. i am frustrated and don't know what to do any more. can any one help?
that sounds rough, i am sorry you aren't feeling well. my advice is just go to a different hospital to get a different view on your situation. please don't hold off on it, this problem really needs to be taken care of.
Hi raprilliya,



Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.







It is true, excessive scraping or rubbing the nose can cause injury to the nasal cavity that causes you to bleed. This condition often appears unconsciously by sufferers because it is part of the movement that is done reflexively. It could also, nosebleeds occur when you blow your nose too hard. Nosebleeds that occur due to these causes are often not dangerous conditions so they do not require special treatment.



However, if you feel that your nosebleeds are repeated very often without a specific trigger, you need to be aware of other possible causes, for example:



Exposure to hot or windy environmental conditions Disorders of the nasal cavity, for example: Sinusitis (inflammation of the sinus cavity) Nasal polyps (benign tumors originating from the nasal mucosa) Deviation of the nasal septum (abnormal tilt of the nasal cavity) Cancer of the nasal cavity or throat Head injury or injury nasal side effects of drugs, such as aspirin, heparin Blood clotting disorders, for example due to ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura), leukemia (blood cancer), vitamin K deficiency, spinal cord disorders, hemophilia, other blood clotting deficiency Frequently, nosebleeds that are worth watching out for dangerous is if it appears accompanied by the following signs:



Nosebleeds recur very often Nosebleeds do not stop by themselves in 15 minutes Nosebleeds appear with other signs of bleeding, such as bruising, bleeding gums, bloody bowel movements Nosebleeds appear with severe headaches, blurry vision, nausea, vomiting Nosebleeds are preceded by a history of head or nose injuries. that you experience, it never hurts you to check yourself directly to a doctor or ENT specialist huh .. Through a comprehensive examination, including also involving blood tests, rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy, x-rays, CT scans, etc., doctors generally can determine, whether your condition is still considered normal, or dangerous.



In the meantime, so that your complaint doesn't always go on, here are our suggestions:



Limit it first to be in an environment that is too hot, air-conditioned or fan Do not scrape, rub your nose excessively Do not also blow your nose too hard If you have an infection or allergic airway, consult a doctor immediately Eat healthy and nutritious foods, especially those that contain lots of vitamins K Get plenty of rest and live a healthy lifestyle. Minimize risky activities that cause head and nose injuries. Not taking drugs nosebleeds occur, compress the base of the nose with ice cubes, nosebleed nose plugs with clean cotton rolls, breathe through the mouth. Hope it helps. . if you have had problems with excessive bleeding this may be related. obviously you must be seeing a doctor and you should address this question to the person ordering your tests. good luck. see more... nasal saline irrigations are excellent for chronic sinus symptoms. antibiotic ointment available over the counter is useful for irritation within the nose. increase the humidity within the home can help with dryness, if not possible, inhale steam. absolutely avoid placing anything into the nose other than ointment just at the base. do not shove tissue into the nose. if this is old news, just a bad habit. if new onset, you need to see an ophthalmologist/neurologist to rule out any neurological disease. see more... have you asked about getting lacrimal plugs? you can get temporary or permanent ones. worthwhile asking your opthalmologist. Hi Karina,



Brain hemorrhage can cause various disorders, usually severe because the brain is the center of control of all functions of the human body. Symptoms vary, depending on which part of the brain is affected and its severity. Usually people who experience it will experience disturbance of consciousness.



People whose consciousness is not perfectly aware cannot be given food directly by mouth because they can choke. Food or fluids can enter the lungs and can cause shortness of breath, infection and even death. Brain hemorrhage can also cause swallowing muscles. Usually when treatment will be given liquid nutrition through the hose, and nutrition has been adjusted to age, weight and other disorders that require adjustments to nutritional needs. Usually an IV will be given as an addition to fluids, electrolytes, minerals and as a way to put drugs.



The sound that arises may be the sound of motion of the digestive tract, or it could be because in the digestive tract there is a pile of air, usually people who lie down long and do not move prone to bloating. If there are no other complaints about this and food can enter according to instructions without vomiting up, you don't need to worry.



Brain hemorrhage is a severe disorder, especially if it is suffered by the elderly. Even so keep positive thinking and follow the instructions of the treating doctor because of course he is most aware of the condition of your relatives.

How long has this complaint occurred? Ulceration is a dry wound. Sores can occur when there are sores on the skin that can be caused by injuries such as blisters or punctures, infections of the skin (viral, bacterial, or fungal infections), or because of other skin problems such as eczema or psoriasis. To overcome this condition you must first know what the main cause. If it is caused by an infection or certain skin conditions, then treatment is also intended to overcome this. Maybe this ulcer does not heal because the handling is not right. In addition, if you experience nutritional deficiencies or certain medical conditions such as diabetes, then this wound is also usually difficult to heal.



If it doesn't heal, the best step is to see a doctor. The doctor needs to do a direct assessment of the ulcer before the doctor decides the next treatment. Meanwhile, avoid peeling scabs. You can clean the scabs slowly with a clean, damp cloth. Keep the area clean and dry. Don't forget to consume nutritious food regularly to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
