I haven't had a nosebleed since I was
about four or five. I'm currently
seventeen, going on eighteen in january
and for the last four days i've had
nosebleeds for about 10 minutes each and
at the same time a pain in the very
back/top of my head (about where the
'crown' is). The nosebleeds aren't
gushing or anything, it's more of a steady
slow flow, so two to three kleenexes are
used each time.Does anybody know what
might be happening? Or for that matter if
it's serious?

When you were a kid did they ever tell you
that it was something that you used to
eat? Do you tend to get nervous alot? Or
get stressed out? It could be various of
things. What I would do is everytime you
get one write down what you ate or what
you were doing and after a few times alot
of the situations are the same then try
different foods. Try it and let me know
what happens. If that doesn't work then
go to the doc.

they never told me anything like that to
my memory, and i'm rarely nervous or
stressed out. I was just walking around
with my boyfriend, then I felt the pain in
the back of my head and then I felt
dripping from my nose and I wiped it with
my finger and it was all bloody. So I was
like, what the heck :s and if i'll post
tomorrow night hopefully about what I ate
and if I had another nosebleed, which
hopefully I don't have another one,
especially at the university orientation
and tour I have to be at tomorrow.

I did get another nosebleed today. But
thankfully not at the university. My head
still hurt. And I ate a bagel & cream
cheese and a cheeseburger and fries today.

Well.... Posted: 10-29-06 14:45pm
Maybe you should do some research on the
internet asking "what causes a nose
bleed?" things like that see what you come
up with even go to the library and see
what you find. Compare the symptoms they
give you with yours maybe you can
diagnose yourself. Keep me posted

I had that same thing happen to me last
year around this time, so I dismissed it
as a "seasonal change", and like you I had
some pain at the top of my head. It got
pretty bad, so I went to the doc, and it
ended up that I had a sinus infection and
didn't even know it! The infection was
due to the dry air, so with some
antibiotics,and a humidifier, I was over
it in a few days, and have been fine
without nose bleeds ever since. If it
keeps happening, you should see your
doctor.

Hi there! I am not a dr but do you have
high blood pressure? It could be sinus
infection or it could be something else.
When I was younger, I used to get a lot of
nose bleeds and they called it something
but can't for the life of me remember what
they called it but thy told me to use ice
to the back of my throat and it would stop
the bleeding as it freezes the blood
vessels but I am not saying to try this as
it could make your situation worse it did
and I no longer have the problems plus
they drained my sinuses, now they say that
acupuncture is helping some people with
sinus problems you might want to go to the
dr to get a diagnosis and see if he/she
can help you out because it seems to me
that your situation is not getting any
better.
Good luck!
Keep us posted.
