Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I ve never had a bloody nose. We are vacationing in Wikiki at the moment. Yesterday about 2:30 my nose started to bleed profusely. I pinched my nose while trying to ice it. It stopped for a couple of hours and then started up again. I had called the paramedics to take me to ER. There it continued to bleed. I was told to pinch my nose for very hard for so many minutes at a time. Ok then it seemed to stop. They drew blood and did lab work that came back ok. Then the released me but then my nose started to bleed again. So I requested that theyvat least cauterize it. Sobthatvwas done to my right nostril. But, I m very concerned because I have a long flight home tomorrow night from Oahu to Seattlevtgenbto LAX then home to Tucson. . Help
There is nothing to worry. Weather changes can cause nose bleed. When it does, just pinch your nose. And then get your nasal area examined by a doctor to check if there is some growth.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
