4th nosebleed in 24hrs....what to do?

[Mosinguy]

As the title states, just had my 4th nose bleed in 24 hours and it was big one. I'm not going to school today and I'll see a doctor later today but can anyone tell me what could possibly cause this? And which would be better for me to drink right now: water or Gatorade?

dry sinus passages. there are alot of blood vessels that run through the sinus area / nose. not really a big problem besides bleeding all over the place. cauterizing the blood vessels via soldering iron(done by a doctor) is usually the prime solution.

keep the water intake high. dont blow your nose much.

Stupid disclaimers... they ruin all the fun.

Kick the habit.

I've had a few the past few weeks myself. Just dryness plus breathing. You could either snort some lotion or stop breathing. If you do the lotion, check it first; you don't want something that smells bad.

quit putting beans up there?

put a bullet in each nostril, but don't sneeze.

Now I know why I've got some inert .50 BMG laying around somewhere!

Tampons in the nose...works great for nose bleeds.

Snort quick clot...no don't do that.

Try moving your head back on the stock and don't rest your nose on your thumb while firing. You might try a .22 for a while and leave the Mosin at home.

The Motherland would not approve of such heinous acts.

There are medications to cauterize. You could suffer dryness, resolved simply by Vaseline in the nose.

you might just try trimming your finger nails smooth.

Neti pot, it's good times, followed up by some moisturizing swabs you can pickup at Wallgreen's/CVS.

 

[Mr. Habib]

Do you own a caulking gun?

Please have your blood pressure checked as soon as possible. A very high BP can cause nose bleeds...and if your BP IS high enough to be the problem, you need to be treated right away.
