I haven't had one this year but I have them in previous years. Only in the hot weather though. I started to get them when I was about 18.

Probably hayfever or dust.

Dehydration is a good call, too.

Try putting vaseline up the effected nostril for a few days, and drink plenty of water.

I was just wondering if anyone else has been having nose bleeds over the last few days? From someone who hasnt got a history of having nose bleeds ever i have had 3 massive ones in the last 2 days.

One last night while working on the bar, after about the fifth line it pissed blood for about 20 minutes and i mean really pissed it (it wasnt dripping it was literly streaming out).

This morning I woke up, rolled over and had another line then at about 11am same again but for about 10 minutes.

This afternoon my nose was abit sore but I thought a big snort would be ok and at about 4pm exactly the same for about 15 minutes.

I have been working flat out on the bar for the last few days (music festival so I have been experimenting with all sorts of things) serving for hours on end with no break kinda stuff, only a big bag of chan to keep me going.

I thought it might have been the heat the last few days anyone have any ideas what might be causing them?

I used to snort a lot of drugs when i was younger but havnt really done anything for a good year and a few months and wasnt taking any at the time of the bleeds

And not having any pervious problems with nosebleeds since quitting i doubt this would really be a major factor

I had my nose cauterized when I was 14 as I used to get nosebleeds about 3-6 times a day. Every day.

Fecking horrible procedure. Glad it was done though. Have only ever had 4 or so since then, and now I am 28
Always thought red hot pokers went up the backside?
I fancied a change.

I had my nose cauterized too. Great op for a nine year old, copious amounts of snot for a fortnight afterwards.
