What Could Be The Cause For Bleeding In Nose?
My sister has been complaining her head has been hurting so she took some ibuprofen for it. About 20 minutes later she got a really bad bloody nose and it's lasted about 7 minutes. She is leaning over the toilet with blood dripping out of her nose. In the past the doctors said she has high Choleristal. What does this mean. I'm getting worried.

Hi.... To stop the bleeding she should press her nose from above.Putting some ice pack over the nose is also helpful. She should not lean forward as this will only increase the bleeding. She should sit down leaning her head backwards.
The probable cause for headache followed by bleeding from nose could be a sudden spike in blood pressure. It would be advisable to get her blood pressure checked.
