A member asked:

When i tilt my head forward to look down my nose feels like it's going to bleed but it doesn't happen....

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nasal fullness: Bending over increases the pressure and vascular congestion in the nasal passages giving the sensation of fullness and impending nose bleeding. The same sensation can sometimes be felt in the frontal sinuses in the forehead.
