Brief Answer:
Increased bleeding is common with meth use

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

Crystal meth substantially increases blood pressure and pulse rate leading to uncontrolled bleeding from the exposed areas.

In my view the overnight bleeding from the nose was most likely effect of crystal meth.

In addition migraine is precipitated by crystal meth so it is also possible that crystal meth aggravated problem for you.

I hope this helps you.

Brief Answer:
They will stay for longer time

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

I may have interpreted information in different way leading to different information although the bleeding, blood pressure and pulse rate are universal effects with crystal meth.

In case bleeding and migraine were there at the time of smoking crystal meth they will stay for longer time. Suppose a person with sinus surgery bleeds for half an hour and if takes crystal meth it will be prolonged to may be one hour out two hour. Regarding migraine it may not respond to usual medications when you have crystal meth in the system.

I hope this assists you further
