What Causes Uncontrolled Bleeding From Nose And Black Stools?

Hi, my mom had a migrain about 4 days ago and last night between midnight and 5 this morning she had a bloody nose that was uncontrollable. It was really bad and she swallowed alot of blood. Her stools are pure black. Her bp was high last night, but this morning it was 125/80. This is the 3rd time its happened and the last 2 times she was really streesed, as well as this time. What do you think may be wrong?

Hello,

The bad bloody nose was due to spike in blood pressure she experienced. She was lucky that nasal blood vessels were torn ending to bleeding. It would be worse if the accident would happen in her brain causing cerebral hemorrhage or paralysis or even lethal.

To me she urges to see :
- cardiologist to evaluate her cardiovascular system through a complete cardiac check up
- ENT specialist to evaluate the blood vessels of the nose
- neurologist to rule out neurological issues.

For the moment, I can only suggest to:
- try to cope with stress
- use supplements to keep her calm containing valerianna, aloe vera, passiflora, magnesium, etc.
- try to teach her that when she would have another bloody nose, should get up, bend a bit to let the blood coming out; press at the end part of nostrils cartilage (where the bone start) until bleeding will over or until you send to ER

Hope this helps.
