Is it a bad idea to tilt my head backwards to stop nose bleeding ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The best thing to do with a nose bleed is to sit up, lean your head forward with your chin on your chest and grab your nose and your face tightly and squeeze for 15 minutes. That should stop most bleeds.
