A member asked:
Is it normal to nosebleed anytime even while in the middle of sleep?what is the indication of this?he is 36 yrs.old.is there a prob.w/ his blood?help.

Many possibilities: Recurrent nose bleeds can be caused by many things, ranging from too dry air, no friable veins in the nose, to problems in clotting (low platelets, for examples). If this occurs often, i would try to have him evaluated. A good physical exam can look at his nasal mucosa, and if warranted, some simple blood work can also be performed.
