Question 1

nose bleed in middle of night?

Accepted Answer

Check your BP: If the nose bleed is always from the same nostril it could be due to a superficial vessel, or dryness in the nose. Apply saline nasal spray to keep the nostrils moist, check the blood pressure to make sure it is not elevated as this is a common cause of increased frequency of nose bleeds in adults, eliminate over the counter medications that predispose to bleeding like anti-inflamatories, aspirin.

Question 2

what is wrong if you get a nose bleed in middle of the night?

Accepted Answer

Common: Epistaxis is common in everyone. 80% of people experience this in their lives. A common cause is dry, hot air like inside the home causing nasal dryness and crusting. The nasal tissue cracks and bleeds easily. Treatment includes humidification of the air, and nasal moisturizing with a variety of otc nasal saline gels or mist spray.  It's not a major health hazard, but should see an ENT.

Question 3

so last night i had a nosebleed out of nowhere, like i woke up to a nose bleed, dont know what caused it, then i was using the restroom, another nosebleed. please help i dont know what it is?

Accepted Answer

: It's common in the winter time especially if the air in your house is dry because of heating. If bleeding comes out anteriorly and it stops within minutes by pushing the ala to the septum on the bleeding side, the bleeding is from the fragile kiesselbach plexus then you have nothing to worry. If nosebleed recurs quite often in the next couple days or it takes a long time to stop, see your doctor.

Question 4

i traveled across the u.s. by plane on monday as and i experienced a nose bleed on tues am.  i flew home last night and i woke up with a nose bleed.

Accepted Answer

Probably dry air: More than likely, your nosebleeds are not serious, but rather due to dryness in the plane cabin.  If you do not have other associated bleeding tendencies, such as bleeding gums while brushing your teeth, easy bruisability, then i would suggest you take a q-tip with vaseline and apply in your nostrils before flight.  If this is persistent, you may need to see an ENT to have the vessel cauterized.

Question 5

my two year had a nose-bleed during his night sleep. what can trigger nose-bleeds?

Accepted Answer

Normal / common: Kids commonly get nose bleeds when they are exposed to airborne irritants (smoke, fragrance, fumes, dust, allergens) or dry heat. They often awake with a bloody pillow after rubbing their nose into it during sleep and having a bleed. Nasal saline wash or jells and humidified air help reduce the frequency.Avoidance of irritants is the primary method of prevention.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: Most of the time, high blood pressure does not give any symptoms. Some people may feel some headache or dizziness. Some do get nose bleeds. May feel tired or just "not right". Should get checked to see what may be giving her the problem.

Question 8

had nose bleeds since using e cigarettes (vaper) stopped using last night had nose bleed lightly today nothing bad will this stop? no longer using vap

Accepted Answer

Epistaxis: Great decision to stop using e-cig. You're doing yourself a great favor. As for your nose bleeds (epistaxis), as long as they stop, you're most likely fine. But it's still a good idea for your Family Doc or even ENT to take a peek up there to make sure nothing else is going on. In meantime, use spare non-vaping time to eat right, exercise regularly &amp; get enough sleep. Wrap it up each &amp; every time.

Question 9

why does my nose bleed after a night of drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Nosebleed: One possibility is that during the alcohol binge you got into a fight, and someone punched you in the nose.  Alcohol can also act  like a blood thinner, causing your platelets to be less "sticky" and not clot well.   This is apparently more common in male drinkers than women.   If you drink often, you may even have less platelets, period.  http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh21-1/42.pdf.
