Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The person may have hypertension, increased blood pressure. So, it is important to control blood pressure. Check blood sugar levels and take measures to control it.
Consult a physician to add medicine to control blood pressure and sugar. This is more likely as patient has glaucoma. Give him Nasivion nose drop 3 drops twice daily for 1 week. If bleeding is more then we have to do a nasal endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rajat Basak
