Are u from abroad and are u on warfarin. They will check your inr. Apart from it it can be bad viral infection which can give rise to bleeding. Bleeding needs to be stopped by medication or nasal packs or radiofrequency cautery. They may stop your wayfaring for a while. So rule our dangerous viral infection where platelet count goes down
