Hot Sensation In Head And Ears, Headache, Blood In Finger. Worry?
hello,
I am Krishna from UK. My head and ears feel hot frequently. I get pain on the upper part of the head when it gets hot. In mornings from my left nostril blood comes when I try to clean my nose. Though it is small in quantity but worries me. When I touch that part inside my nose with finger I can see some blood on the finger. Could you please help me.

Hi Krishna and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your querry.
It sounds like you have headache problems and you should check your blood pressue as this is the most often cause of headache associated with nose bleeding. Also check your hameantological tests trombocytes and clotting factors. Second reqason can be nose lesion such as infection or polyps and you need ENT examination for it. All in ll in most cases it doesnt indicate anything serious . WIsh you good health.

Hi and thanks for the query,
The symptoms you present with need a careful evaluation. Important aspects of your past medical history could be useful. Any history of hypertension, any bleeding disorders, chronic rhinitis or sinusitis or recent viral infections could be useful . However, headache and nose bleeding at times could be observed in some hypertensive patients. It possible that the headaches and the nose bleeding might not actually be directly related.
This headache evaluation must be analyzed based on duration, timing, aggravating and relieving factors , and other associated signs and symptoms. This shall help in distinguishing a primary headache (migraine, tension headaches and cluster headaches) from secondary headaches (brain tumours, abscesses, stress, etc). A physical examination of the nostril by preferably an ENT specialist could give more insight into the probable etiology of the nose bleeds.
I strongly recommend booking an appointment with an ENT specialist, and then probably a neurologist for a proper clinical and paraclinical evaluation and management.
Thanks and best regards,
Luchuo, MD.
