DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
NOSE BLEEDING IS KNOWN AS EPITAXSIS..
YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IS HIGH AND THAT CAN CAUSE THE EPISTAXSIS.
I SUGGEST YOU TO HAVE A REGULAR BP CHECK UP AND ADJUST THE BP TABLETS ACCORDINGLY
ALSO YOU NEED TO DO A BLOOD INVESTIGATION OF PLATELET, PT INR AND APTT TO LOOK FOR ANY ABNORMALITY
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
