Suffering From Nosebleeds, Short Episodes. On Steroids For Polymyalga Rheumatica. History Of Low BP, Kidney Stones. Treatment?
Am getting about 1 to 2 nosebleeds a week, quite heavy out of my right nostril . Lasts about 5 to 10 mins. Started about 2 months ago. I have polymyalga rheumatica am on steroids 5mg a day for this (at moment on 7.5 as very sore joints at this time). Suffer at times from low blood pressure and had 5 operations last year for kidney stones . I dont drink water and am addicted to zero coke, drink it all day and night (dont drink coffee tea or hardly any alcohol). Have constant headaches all the time.

Hello and welcome to health care magic,
You need to get yourself evaluated as soon as possible by a combination of complete blood profiling and CT PNS and get back to me or any ENT with the reports as soon as possible
The bleeding may be harmless or due to any benign cause but it pays to rule out any major problem
Your drinking coke may not be related but it goes without saying that any addiction is bad
regards
Dr Sriram Nathan
