Question: i had a concussion mild no headaches or bad dizzy spells and no racing thoughts, that was two weeks ago. night before last and last night I have had nosebleeds in the night. I have had them before the blow to the head on occasion I am in Arizona and the humidity is none existent. Its in the same nostril each time and not a lot, usually over in 15 min. or so. no highblood pressure, I do take a baby asprin a day
Hello and thanks for query.
I understand your concern and will try my best to address your concern.
It seems that your concussion has probably no role in your nose bleed because of two reasons
First, you had this head injury two weeks before.
Second, you have history of similar bleeds from nose even before your head injury.
Considering the fact that you are not having any high blood pressure and any other disease,the reasons for your nose bleed could be the aspirin you take as a blood thinner. The other common reasons include:
Because of dry air in your area which can cause your nasal membranes dry and crack.
Habitual nose poking can cause nose bleed.
A temperature change suddenly from outside wintery conditions to warm atmosphere in your house.
A pressure with cotton for 5 minutes should stop it. You may breathe through mouth then
You must consult your doctor for the cause and treatment if problem doesn't resolve or worsens with the above nose pinch.
I hope to have answered your query however you can revert to me for any further query.
Thanks and wish you best of luck.
