Is It Safe For A Person Having Nose Bleed During Winter To Go For Scuba Diving?
Hello, we live in Minneapolis winters are long and dry. My daughter has gotten nose bleeds for years. mostly in the winters, I m sure due to the dryness. She is 16 and going on a trip and will be doing some scuba diving. Should there be a concern with her getting a nose bleed while diving.??

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter with the history of epistaxis (Bleeding per nose ) one can not go for scuba diving unless the underlying cause of this detected on medical ground this is not at all advisable this could be dangerous and harmful, hope this information helps you take a good care of her and have a nice day.
