Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Fast blowing may cause injury to the mucosa layer or veins lead to epistaxis. Other possibilities like hypertension or thrombocytopenia or infection may also cause this problem. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use pressure for few seconds if blood not stopped repeat it once again. If not control please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and do nasal package and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
