Hello, im diabetic but I have been going to the gym since february until today may 5, and about a month in a half ago my doctor told me that i was diabetic. so i started eating more healthy. But in this past week i have had nose bleeds around 2 times one was when i woke up in the morning to use the bathroom it suddenly bleed second was while i was sleeping i suddenly woke up to a nose bleed. I am concerned about the meaning of this nose bleed?! Is it natural since the weather in california san francisco so hot?
Hello,
Although a diabetic can bleed from nose if he having high blood pressure or if he is using some blood thinner like aspirin or warfarin,but other wise the most common causes for bleeding from nose are..
Drying of mucosal membranes of nose specially in hot weather like it is present in your city
Nose picking
Excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays.
You may apply some ointment inside nose like NEOSPRIN ointment and get your blood pressure checked.
Take the medicine for blood pressure if it is high.
Most likely the cause should be drying of nasal mucus membranes which shall be all right with applying the ointment.
Don't pick the nose.
Use saline nasal spray instead of decongestant nasal spray,if you are using it.
Thanks

Hello welcome to health care magic Regarding your query most common cause of nasal bleeding in the elder people is either diabetes or hypertension.. you didn't mention your age in the query,,(i am considering as above 50 since you are diabetic).. Check your blood pressure by consulting physician,because at this age only due to high BP nasal blood vessels rupture and may lead to nasal bleeding.. and also keep in control of your blood sugar levels.. Hope you understand Thank you Dr.siddartha
