Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
You are probably suffering from acute rhinitis. You should get a x-ray paranasal sinuses done or get yourself examined by an ENT SPECIALIST.
Please tell me how many episodes of nasal bleeding you have encountered?
how much was the bleeding like mild or profuse?
Any history of hypertension?
Follow up with the required information so that I can suggest you better.

actually,from what i remembered since i got this episode, this is my second time only and the bleeding is not bad. as i have mentioned earlier it's just the blood stained boogers. in fact i was thinking maybe because of my sneezing or when i blew my nose to remove those nasal discharges,but i those are just my opinion.what concerns me also is the pain or discomfort or burning inside my nose coupled by the itching.yes,i do have hypertension and i'm taking lisinopril 10mg daily as maintainance.i've never gone to see any family dr for almost a year now since i resigned from my job and i've barely gotten a new job and i don't have coverage until the ist week of may.so those xrays that you've suggested may not be possible until i get to see a primary md after i got an insurance.but is there any OTC drug that i can buy to at least relieve those symtoms for now.thanks

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the information
Bleeding from nose might be due to hard blowing only as it was very mild as you said.
Keep a check on your blood pressure as hypertension can be a cause for bleeding from nose.
You should take an anti-allergic tablet and a nasal spray. This will definitely help you with your symptoms but best is to get investigated.
Any further questions are always welcome.
Take care
Thanks and regards
