What Causes High Blood Pressure And Nose Bleed?
Last night my husband had a nose bleed and layed down. He complained of his body being ice cold and his head fire hot. His face was really red and his body cold. His blood pressure was 179/66 with pulse of 71. He recently had a physical, no blood pressure problems and no other medical issues. He is 71 yrs. old and still works. What happened?

Hello,
I would like to tell you that long-standing high blood pressure is a very common cause for a nosebleed.
Your husband’s systolic is very high which needs to manage with medication and diet. Considering his age and high blood pressure he also needs a basic cardiac checkup.
Kindly get an ECG, Echocardiography, kidney functions and serum electrolytes done and consult a Physician/Cardiologist personally for proper evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
