What Causes Nose Bleeding When Suffering From High BP?

Posted on Tue, 3 Jun 2014

Question: Thank you for your interest in my well-being. The dr's feel like my bp went up so high because of the steroids. Now I am having a terrible nosebleed which is one of 10 that has happened in the last few weeks. I went to an ENT and had my nose cauterized which helped a lot but now started having them with lots of clots and it is coming out of the other side of my nose.
