How To Treat Nasal Bleed?

My nose starting bleeding so I put a Vaseline coated cotton ball in my nostril. Blood was running down the back of my throat so I leaned forward, pulled out my cotton ball and a very long, thick strand of mucus came out with it. It was approx. 6-7 inches long. What is wrong with me?
