Nose bleeds...
Discussion
I keep getting little nose bleeds, just for a minute or two, I get a few a day for a few days and then a few days with none and then they will come again.
I have been having them during the day mostly but one that was quite impressive while sleeping that I only found out about upon waking in the morning with my face stuck to the pillow.
This has been going on for a few months and its getting a bit annoying now and I am thinking about going to the doctor but I don't want to waste their time.
What's the general opinion on PH ? ignore and man up or go and have the doc look up my nose and tell me to "pop back if they carry on" ?

Its not hot in Cornwall, I don't box.
Hmm, ok.
I don't pick my nose so its not that.
Didn't think of that. Is someone else picking it? Hmm, ok.

On a serious note, it won't be wasting the doctor's time, it's what they're paid for, and in a society that doesnt work on a preventative healthcare process, do it for peace of mind.
I started getting them a few months back.
Went to the docs and was told that due to the prolonged hot weather, the vessels come to the surface in your nose. Was given some cream that was supposed to let them retract back to normal, but it didn't work, so I had the offending vessel cauterized out.

Surprisingly common, runs in my family, especially the females.
15 year old sister recently had to have her nose cauterized, a pretty painless process done under local anaesthetic.
That said it could be a symptom of a more serious problem.
As if you really needed to be told, see a doctor ASAP.
