Nose bleed	Quote \| Reply

I am in my 30s and I recently have been having frequent nose bleed. well i dont know if once every 4 to 6 weeks is often but maybe its the cold weather and heating in my home i am not sure but it has happen 4 times in the past 3 months now. It bleeds on the right side only. I have check on occasion i have taken pain medication and also aspirin on the times that i had these nose bleeds . Am i allergic to aspirins then as i seldom take any medication and have no knowledge of any reaction to them. Plus the nose bleed last for like not more than 1 to 3 mins. Ater that nothing at all.Thanks for your quick response to the matter.Or could it be cause something else i am kind of worried please advise. thanks

A nose bleed rarely indicates a serious disease, eventhough it may be frightening in the young adult. However, in middle aged it is quite often a sign of high blood pressure.

There is really nothing you should worry about, but I would ask my Doctor for futher tests. High blood pressure can cause nose bleeds as an attempt by the body to reduce the pressure.

Hope this answers your question!
