Suggest Treatment For Nosebleeds

Hello. I am a 22 year old female with high blood pressure and UC. I just got my nose cauterized more so on the right side. Upon the doctor examining my nose he told me the medicine I was taking for my belly issues and high blood pressure may be causing my nosebleeds to worsen. Why is this and how can I better this issue? And is my throat suppose to hurt a little after the procedure?

Hello dear,

I see you are having a genuine problem and will try my best to address your concern.

At the age of 22 high blood pressure is very rare. But this can lead to bleeding from nose commonly. In addition you have got UC which directly or indirectly affects the nose also. You should feel fortunate that the blood vessel burst in nose and not in any vital organ like BRAIN ( Which may lead to more complications like paralysis).

So thank The almighty and try the following remedies.

The blood vessels in nose lye just below the lining epithelium of the nose. Any factor which makes the epithelium dry, will definitely lead to rupture of the vessels (with added chance if the blood pressure is more). If the nose is kept moist, the chances of bleeding falls to drastically to minimal. There are saline sprays available in the medicine counters in the name of PHYSIOMER/AQUWET/AQUASPRAY saline nasal spray. These are not medicines, but only 0.9% salt in water and free of any side effects. You can use it as per your wish. The purpose is to restrict the nose epithelium getting dry which ultimately affects the blood vessel in nose. The nose has to be irrigated 3-4 times a day for 10 seconds atleast. ( If not available in a store near to you, then you can also make it at home with 1 tea spoonful of common salt with 1 liter of drinking water).

In the mean time you can use any gel ( Atleast 3 times per day) with ALOE VERA, which will help in healing of the cauterised mucosa of your nose. Most importantly please do not forget to take medications for your blood pressure and UC as advised by your physician.

In a holistic approach you can also take lemon ( contains Vitamine-C, which keeps the epithelium healthy) and red vegetable like tomatoes ( contains Lycopene, an antioxidant) which will be benificial for you.

I hope my answer brings you some relief.

Thanks for the way you are in my life.
