Does Ketogenic Diet Cause Nosebleeds?

ok. I have been on a ketogenic diet for about 4 months. Recently I have been getting nosebleeds - 3 in last 3 weeks. I am 72 years old and have borderline high blood pressure but control it without drugs. I do not take any drugs and am in very good health. I have lost weight and feel great on the diet but I am concerned about the nosebleeds

hi,welcome to health care magic
usually the ketogenic diet is associated with gum bleed or nose bleed, if its becoming heavy kindly consult your physician immediately, or else switch over to carbohydrate diet for few days.
