Nosebleeds: Nosebleeds usually stop on their own with simple care unless there are underlying problems like high blood pressure, treatment with blood thinners, or underlying blood coagulation disorders like hemophilia. Most patients would present for care long before they 'bleed out'. In some cases the elderly and/or demented may have ongoing bleeding and significant blood loss.
