What Causes Nose Bleeding And Headaches?
Have you ever heard the expression, The silence is deafening ? This is the sound I have been plagued with for approximately one year. My left nostril is constantly bleeding, nothing significant, bright red in color, and it is always draining; as it would when dealing with an allergy. I have been a headache sufferer for years (constant dull aching in the lower right )back side of my head and I take Advil extra strength with ibuprofen on a daily basis to help alleviate same; three to four times a day, depending on the severity of pain. Could you please advise... respectfully Helen

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
From the symptoms of one sided nasal discharge with bleeding and headache, it looks that you are not yet investigated properly.
I would advise you the following:
First of all, get an appointment with an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation, actual ENT Endoscopy to determine whether there is any mass or pus or so.
Secondly to go for a CT scan of the sinuses and nose to see the extent and cause of the disease.
This will give you the most proper diagnosis and a plan for a proper treatment.
