Question 8

does xarelto causes nosebleeds?

Accepted Answer

It can...: Any anticoagulation medication can cause nosebleeds.  If these are minor and infrequent, it may not be worht the risk of stopping the medication, depending on why it was started.  Occassionally nosebleeds may be severe enough to warrant stopping this type of medication, but this is rare.  Talk to your doctor about this.

Question 9

can hot baths cause nosebleeds?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some people do experience more nosebleeds with hot baths. Two possible causes: the increase in temperature can dilate the capillaries. This would increase blood flow through all capillaries, including the nose, increasing the chance for a bleed. The other possible explanation is that the mucous membranes of the nose get irritated due to a change in humidity.  See your doctor for treatment options.

Question 10

can a nosebleed be caused by my stress/anxiety?

Accepted Answer

It can!: Studies have shown that, in some cases, patients who experience nosebleeds get them after finding themselves in stressful situations. A 2001 article in the British Medical Journal suggests that this could have something to do with the spikes in blood pressure that are very common when you're stressed out.
