My.Dad has Has regular bledding nose these 2 days and no high blood pressure what can be causes??
Apr 14, 2013

Dr. Thierry Yazbek Surgery
A nosebleed or epistaxis occurs when the membranes lining the inner nose are disturbed or irritated enough to cause abnormal bleeding. There are 2 types of nosebleeds: anterior and posterior. An anterior nosebleed
is usually not as severe or serious as a posterior nosebleed.

The most common causes of nosebleed are:
• A breakdown in the membranes lining the nose. This can be triggered by dry air or probing, bumping,picking, or rubbing your nose. Blowing your nose forcefully can also cause a nosebleed, especially if the nasal membrane is already inflamed because of allergies or an infection.
• Injury to the face or nose.
• Rebleeding from an area of a previous nosebleed.
• High altitude.
• Drug abuse involving the nose, such as cocaine snorting or glue sniffing.
• High blood pressure.
• Medicine that increases the time it takes for your blood to clot ( aspirin-.... )

you have to check your doctor as soon as possible.

Dr. Raffi Jil-Hagopian Otolaryngology (ENT)
Besides what Dr Yazbek has said, nose bleeds can also be due to more various problem entities, being diseases like sinus pathologies, vascular issues, even more serious,nasal and/or paranasal sinus tumors. So it is best to be evaluated by an ENT specialist the sooner the better.
