What Medical Condition Causes Nosebleeds In A 70-year-old?
A few days ago 70 you old mum (who is under a lot of stress) suddenly had a nose blleed with some black (dried blood) stuff in it and then tow nights ago she wkoke because something was in her eye and it was blood from her nose. I ve never known her to have nosebleeds so and worried it could be something serious
The most common cause of nasal bleed is an increase in the blood pressure, you must check her blood pressure first, then if it is normal it may be a weakness in her nasal blood vessels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
