What Causes Nasal Bleeding After A Head Injury?
I hit my head at work and the next day I got a nose bleed that lasted about 40 minutes. I went to the er and they said I was okay. I got 4 nose bleeds the next day on the way to another er. The next er said I was fine. I got another nose bleed tonight. They re starting to scare me..

Hello,
The nose bleeding seems to be related to the injury. I suggest you not to worry.
I recommend to sit down and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils, for at least 10-15 minutes.
I also recommend to lean forward and breathe through your mouth. This will drain blood into your nose instead of down the back of your throat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
