Q: Lately I've been getting frequent nosebleeds, almost everyday. They come out of nowhere and I can find no pattern as to what causes it. I'm on the computer and it starts or I can be lying down and reading a book and I feel it going down my throat. And the really bad thing is, I can't get it to stop unless I let it 'bleed out'. It's very runny and when I press a tissue against my nose it just soaks through it and continues dripping, when I do that lying down it goes down the back of my throat. the blood always comes out the left nostril. Is there anyway to stop the bleeding? Should I be worried about this?
A: Bundle some tissue and place it under your upper lip, between your gums and inner lip. theres a big artery that runs along there it will stop the bleeding. Bring humidity into the environment and add some ice/ ice pack wrapped in a shirt onto your nose, constrict the vessels. Try taking some multi vitamins or just iron supplements to thicken your blood. you may merely be lacking a few vitamins ans its making your blood too thin. if after taking the pills problem remains the same hit up a doc.
