What Causes Bleeding While Blowing Nose?

I think my wisdom teeth are growing in. My jaws always crack when I move them left or right. The cracking comes from the upper area of the jaw. Also I sometimes get pressure up in that area as well. Recently I have be seeing blood when I blow my nose. Any input on this?

no need to worry.
These cracking sounds are common, like we have sounds coming from finger joints.
These sounds are coming from the TM joint (Temparomandibular) and unless its paining no need for worry. Also a word of caution, this is a miniature duplicate of Knee joint, so dont make it a habit of moving it purposely to check whether sound is coming or not.
Regarding your blood from nose problem:
sometime due to forceful sneezing occasionally you may see blood tinged mucus coming out from the nostrils.
Hope the above solves your query.
Thanks and regards,
