Can Nosebleeds Be Related To High BP?
My husband is 65, fit, no health issues, not on any drugs, does not have high blood pressure, has been having 3-4 severe nose bleeds a day which can take up to 1 hour to stop. This has been 10 days now. We have seen a ENT specialist who can see no cause. he is using vasaline to keep his nose moist, there has been no direct weather change, and he has not had any contact with any irritants.

Hello,
Yes, the nose is a very frequent manifestation of increased blood pressure. If his blood pressure is fine, you need to evaluate him for other causes like bleeding disorder. I also think that you must see another ENT doctor because nose bleeding is mainly because of abnormal bleeder in the nose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
