What Causes Lightheadedness, Headache And Nosebleed?
hi I ve have had episodes of lightheadedness, with headaches and overall not feeling well. I recently started getting nosebleeds out of the blue. The first was so bad that I lost almost a half cup of blood. Doctor says my bloodwork is fine, what should I do?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
I think Hypertension may be the cause of your problem.
Problem in nose vasculature may be cause nosebleed.
You should consult the doctor and do the following tests:
1. Check your blood pressor
2. ECG
3. CBC, BT, CT, APTT, INR ratio
3. KIdney function test: urea, creatinine
4. Liver function test
You can start following treatment:
Tablet ibuprofen 500 mg 2-3 times per day when headache.
- for nose bleed.
1. Sit down, pinch your nose just above nostrils for 15-20 minutes
2. Relive after 15 minutes and again after 5 minutes pinch it again till the bleeding stops
3. Take breath through mouth.
4. Do not blow through nose
5. Apply cold pack on your nose: it constricts your nose blood vessels
6. Do not lie down flat and avoid strenuous exercise like weight lifting.
7. If note resolved you should take vitamin K injection.
8. Also do investigation like X-RAY head, CT scan if not stop to exclude other injury
Hope this may help you
Best regards
