Any nose bleed experts in the house?

I honestly think that what just came out of my nose is the most blood I’ve ever seen in my life, I don’t even know how my body is currently functioning after losing that much. Help please 😂

  • Usually putting a tissue up your nose for a few minutes works.

      • You should get to a medical station to burn it, if the bleed doesn't stop that is. But if you're in Freedomland, the cheaper option would be to stick a soldering iron up your nostril.

        • I’ve had bad nosebleeds for a couple of years, I’ll pass out from time to time and sometimes it happens when I sleep. They can last upwards of ten minutes and usually right when I’m about to dig into a good meal too.

            • i get them a lot. Saline, tissues, if it doesn’t stop for like 10 minutes just let it bleed for a min and drink lots of water. And the thing you pulled out was a blood clot.

                • Make sure you look forward, not tilting you head back. Also pinching the area infront of the bridge of your nose should help too.

                  • [b][u]DON'T[/u][/b] tilt your head back! Doing so will make the blood go back into your sinus and when it drys/ coagulate it can irritate the sinus tissue with the potential to tear it increasing the problem. Instead lean forward and catch the blood with a napkin or whatever is handy, including your hand, and just wait it out. If for some reason the blood doesn't stop after 5-10 minutes consider going to the hospital. If it continues to bleed well beyond that then go. Otherwise just wipe it away and go about your day.

                        • The vast majority of nosebleeds respond to direct pressure. Pinch the soft parts of your nose together firmly between thumb and forefinger...then tip your head back slightly. Hold for about 10 minutes, before checking to see if it stops. If a few such efforts fail, and the bleeding still continues, go to your local emergency department. You may not be dealing with a simple nosebleed....and anything more aggressive than direct pressure should be left to medical professionals.

                            Most non-traumatic nose bleeds will stop on there own if it’s nothing serious causing them. If needed (like most have already said) you can pinch your nose and lean your head forward. Swallowing blood will make you sick to your stomach so dont do that. I wouldnt suggest it but i have seen people insert odor free tampons in their nose which helps. Also, you can take a small, folded up papertowl soaked in cold water and place it in between your upper lip and gum. There are a lot of blood vessels that run in that area that supply blood to the nasal cavity and the cool compress will help constrict the vessels and help slow the blood flow down a little therefore reducing bleeding. Its not a fix by itself most of the time but it will help.

                                NEVER TILT YOUR HEAD BACKWARDS. All it does is make the blood go backwards to your brain and throat. Instead, you actually want to keep your face at an angle where the blood goes out your face because you want the blood to flow as freely put as possible. Another trick: if you just jam a tissue as far as it can go up your nose, it'll excite the artery that has been broken and it might make the nosebleed worse. You still want to hold a tissue to your nose, but you want to use your other hand to put pressure on the bridge of your nose. Feel a little hump, right before the bone turns into flap, that's the artery. It might be pulsating when you are having the bleed, so feel for that too. By putting pressure on that artery, then you are helping your body to close off the blood flow at its source.

                                • Well it's probably already over, but stuff a tissue up the bleeding nose and hold it there for about 2 minutes. Do not tilt your head back, you can theoretically kill yourself by adding too much blood to the brain.

                                    • Your body will keep functioning as long as you don’t lose 30ish% of your blood (40ish% if you get immediate treatment). That’s a whopping 2.2-2.5 liters of blood for an average person! I’m sure you’re fine. Depending on how much you lost, though, you might suffer from anemia for a bit. Anemia is a condition that stems from low hemoglobin levels in the blood (among other causes). Hemoglobin regenerates slower than other parts of your blood, which is why it can happen. The biggest symptom is a feeling of being weak, and out of energy. With all that being said, if you lost 15% (825ml) or less, you’ll be just fine, with barely any symptoms at all! Since it was just a nosebleed, I doubt you lost more than that!

                                      • Oh it’s fine. Rinse until it eventually stops or mostly stops There may be a bloody booger in there to so get that out. Then get a napkin, twist it so that it has a point, and stick that point up your nose! Then wait till it’s over. You may have to use more than one tissue. But wait like Half an hour and if there’s still blood on the next tissue then just wait some more

                                          If you tilt your head back it’ll all go down your throat, so if swallowing a ton of blood makes you nauseous just tilt your head forward and stand over the sink and wait, then when it slows down a bit hold your nose shut

                                            My sister has this problem too, apparently it’s caused by either high humidity or it being very dry. Grab a napkin, pinch your nose with it. That’s pretty much all you can do. I think that should work. [spoiler]The Veggie has spooketh[/spoiler]
