What Causes Nose Bleeding?
My daughter is internationally adopted. In the past week she has been complaining of waking with nose bleeds. I cannot find and blood or indication that there was bleeding. Could it be a psychosomatic reaction? She does sometimes faint which is a dissociative reaction she has to stress. We have had her throughly checked for underlying medical issues and have found none.

Thank you for your query.
Yes, it may be caused by certain psychosomatic issues and in this case this is not dangerous and there is no need to be concerned. However, some organic issues should be ruled out such as hypertension, nose polyps, sinusitiis- SO she should se ENT doctor for further evaluation. Also deviated deptum may be present in some cases and it should be properly treated. WIsh you good health. REgards
