Nose bleeding could really ruin your day. It can occur at anytime or any place for some people with medical concerns. Most of the time, the people who have problems with blood clotting are prone to nose bleeds, and since the cuts can’t heal as with a normal person, nose bleeds should be expected at higher rates. Those that are also suffering from high blood pressure are also expected to have a hard time with nose bleeding. The blood should pump faster for people with these conditions, and the blood will go out faster in the nose. If you are taking a medication for blood thinning, you should expect the same condition.

Whatever your condition is, there are three types of nose bleeds that you should be aware of. The first is the mild nosebleed, which most of the time occurs in healthy people that might have blown in their nose too hard, or with any sudden and strong force that is applied to the nose. The blood could be as little as a drop or a tablespoon, and will just stop when slight pressure is applied. Next is the moderate nose bleed, where the blood is controlled within ten minutes of pressure. This could occur for persons that have conditions mentioned above, and as a result of certain actions such as sudden force to the nose. Extreme heat may also be a cause for some who have this condition. First aid can suffice in controlling this condition. However, there are extreme conditions that after almost 20 minutes of pressure, blood still flows. Call the hospital immediately and ask for professional medical assistance.

When a nose bleed occurs, there is a common rule that we have to tilt the head so that the blood will not go out. The bad news is, the blood will not stop if you tilt your head. In fact, it will just take matters worse, since not only will it not help, the blood could be swallowed and induce vomiting in the patient. Let them sit straight and blow out all the blood in there. Expect more blood when it’s being blown forcibly. When you think the entire clot is out, cover your nose with your finger. At this stage, breathe through your mouth. Check on your nose from time to time after 10 minutes of applying pressure. At the same time, place an ice pack on your nose. If possible, apply a moisturizer on your nose to prevent further bleeding.

After a nose bleed, rest as much as you can if possible for 12 hours. Within this period avoid extreme heat and doing lots of work that requires you to exert strength. Your nose is still be healing, and any pressure that you apply to your body will affect your nose. Rest as much as you can and heal your body.

During the first signs of a nose bleed, make sure you stay still and ask for assistance. You can apply the treatment yourself by staying still.
