A member asked:
Why my nose bleds when i sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epistaxis: When you are lying flat, more blood is sent to your nasal cavity due to gravity and hence night time nasal congestion and epistaxis are both common. If you sleep on your side, the dependent side of your nose also tends to get congested.
