Hi,
Your cousin has Tension type headache along with recent worsening in form of lightening bolt of pain with bleeding from nose.

He should be shown to Neurologist for clinical examination .He requires BP checked and CT scan brain to rule out structural lesions in brain. Also requires EEG

Check his blood sugar, platelet count ,bleeding time and clotting time, this when deranged can also produce bleeding from nose.

Meantime ask him to have plenty of fluids , do neck relaxation exercises, apply pressure packs at nasal bleed site .

Hope this will help you
