Suffering from nose bleeding & fainting & low pressure since morning.could it be the heat or should i be alarmed?
Apr 29, 2013

Dr. Jihad Achkar Otolaryngology (ENT)
Nose bleeds are very common during this time of the year because of hot weather and low humidity. Nasal mucosa dries up, and you get crusting which can cause bleeding as crusts slough off. Minor bleeds are easily managed with moisturizing the inside of the nose with ointments (Vaseline on a small piece of cotton would do). More stubborn bleeds will require cauterization at an ENT's office (a quick and effective 5 minute procedure). Some people faint when they see blood, but other more serious conditions can cause fainting spells. If you faint without nose bleeds, you should see your Dr ASAP.
