There are 3 aspects to your problem.The blood pipes may burst due to raised pressure, weak wall of vessels or medication.
Do you have blood pressure problem? If it is raised, it may lead to such issues. Please get your BP checked.This problem may also occur due to excessive strain or injury also.
Weakness of vessel wall my also occur in diabetes and I expect that you have your blood sugar checked.
