What could cause nose bleeds?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nose Bleed Causes: Anything that irritates the nose - smoke, dry air, allergies, a recent cold or sinus infection - all can cause nose bleeds. By far the most common are dry, itchy noses that are picked by the bleeder. You can pick your nose, but bleeding often follows. Go see an ENT doctor if the bleeding persists.

Nose bleeding: Nose bleeds can be a symptom of high blood pressure. Also irritants, dryness, sinus infection. Please see your medical doctor to rule these out and get a proper diagnosis. If it is heart related you should not delay seeing your doctor.
