Suggest Remedies For Recurrent Nose Bleeds In A Young Adult
my son is 21. has had recurrent nose bleeds for a while now. he knows when he is going to have a nosebleed, because he gets a weighted down feeling in his arms and legs. his nose will bleed sometimes for a half hour. after it stops, he feels more energized and that heavy feeling goes away for a while. he averages at least 1 good bleed a week. I made him go to the dr and they did bloodwork. we got the results back today. turns out his wbc is high and he has iron deficient anemia. they are doing further bloodwork on that sample, and wants it repeated in 2 weeks. what could it be

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to dry nose.
For that you can apply nasal saline drops locally.
Along with that avoid hot and humid environment. Use humidifier.
During bleeding pinch your nose firmly. Never lie down.
Avoid nose picking.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
