Hello and welcome to HCM,
Frequent nose bleeds are associated with hypertension.
Control of high blood pressure will stop the nose bleeds too.
Thus, I suggest you to consult a physician for treatment of hypertension.
If the nose bleeds do not decrease or stop after treatment then you need to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment of the nasal mucosa to look for any abnormality in the vascular channels of nasal mucosa.
Thanks and take care
