What can i do for my nose bleed without going to a doctor?

Pinch your nose: There are two kinds of nosebleeds: the more common "anterior" type can be stopped by pinching your nostrils together firmly and holding them closed for a full 10 minutes (use a clock). The less common "posterior" type, usually caused by high blood pressure, is considered a medical emergency; don't attempt to treat yourself, go to an er immediately.
