Nasal bleeding can be from the anterior nasal part or posterior. Can be diagnosed easily as anterior bleeds and posterior bleeds to throat.
Its an urgent need for you to stop the bleed.I recommend
1. sit over a chair bending backwards, breathing through the mouth and pinch the nose for some time till the bleeding stops.
2. Do not exert undue pressure like cough and sneeze
3. for posterior bleeding visit a doctor soon
4. Get blood investigation done like Hb, BT CT PT APTT

Hope it helps you
