What Causes Nose Bleeding?

Hi. one morning I woke up at 3:30am with my pillow covered in blood, it was orange/red mixed..from a nose bleed that I was having..I have Intracranial hypertension, so it worried me. Went to get cleaned up and to stop the bleeding and a huge clot came out, which was actually red, but every time I whipped my nose the blood was orange.
