Mostly due to rise in blood pressure

Detailed Answer:
Dear

Thanks for posting your query.

The common possible reasons for nose bleed in his case could be :

>Rise in blood pressure,which leads to breakage of small blood vessels and bleeding.
> Some local skin infection like boil
> Common cold
> Repeated Scratching of nose

Looking to his age and as he is hypertensive,I think visit to doctor and examination is must.

Your doctor after examination will be in better position to give a diagnosis.

Please visit doctor.

Regards,

Dr.Pragnesh
