What causes a nose bleed for no apparent reason, Stress? Can stress cause nosebleeds?

Dry air can cause nosebleeds. The air pulls the moisture out of the mucous membranes in your nostrils causing them to crack (It makes the walls of the veins thinner which contributes to the cracking effect.) and thus bleed.  Winter is the worse time for this...My husband has already had three this year. I use just a small amount of Carmex on a Q-Tip to moisturize his nose. I also put a small kettle of water on the stove on low to "rehydrate" the air versus expensive humidifiers. Just make sure you don't leave it on at night or that the kettle runs dry...\n\nStress can also cause nosebleeds. Elevated blood preasure can cause the vessels to burst. Also, when people are chronically stressed they don't eat well or hydrate properly which can cause chronic nosebleeds. Try taking a multivitamin, getting enough liquids, and adequate rest and relaxation. Combined with the "dry air" treatment I described above you shouldn't have a problem.\n\nIf the problem persists for more than a few months, happens more than three times a week, happens even after above treatments, is painful, or bleeds excessively and won't quite call your doctor as this may be a sign of something serious. I had an uncle who had a tumor in his sinus' that caused nosebleeds. If you are concerned you should have it checked out.

Yes definitely.  Stress can cause your body to behave in abnormal ways.  It can delay getting your period, it can make the flow increase or decrease.  I know you mentioned that you are going through some stressful things but try to relax a bit.

This is a very specific complaint that needs to be worked up.  I disagree with the idea that dehydration or changes in the "way your salivary glands work" are the cause. I also disagree that tears can cause a salty taste.  If you produce excess tears, they run down your face...only the slow steady amount of tears normally produced collect and empty into the nose, and this quantity doesn't change.\n\nAlthough the more serious problems are unlikely, they are a BIG DEAL if you don't get them taken care of right away.  SO, there are a few possibles:\n\n1) As mentioned, postnasal drip can cause a subtle salty taste, but this is usually associated with allergy or upper respiratory infection symptoms.  If you have no other symptoms, I would not put my eggs in this basket.\n\n2) A leakage of cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) through the upper sinuses or the area of the nerves that sense smell (the cribriform plate).  There are a number of neurological conditions that can cause such a leak.  Most importantly, do you have headaches made worse by standing?\n\n3) a medication or dietary reaction are also possible.\n\nMost importantly, you should see your doctor and try to get in to see a specialist if this doesn't resolve in the next week.  This is more urgent if you are having headaches.

stress can cause it, a change in  your diet, sleeping pattern, weightloss, weight gain, illness, medication all sorts of things can affect it.  i'd just keep an eye on it and if it doesn't go away or if it gets worse then i'd go to the gyno

they can cauterize your blood vessels in your nose, which will help prevent nosebleeds.  My brother gets them a lot, because we live in the desert, and the air is really dry.  One thing that helps is if you put a Q-tip into a jar of Vaseline (or maybe put Neosporin on it) and then swab the insides of your nose every morning and night.  It really helps.  I used to get nosebleeds a lot when I was on a medicine called Accutane (it dries your whole body out really bad -- it's for acne), and I used to do that.

I am a martial artist and a boxer and I have had my share of broken noses. First you can have a broken nose and not have it bleed, but it will swell up amd it will bruise. Now a good way o find out if it is broken... now bare with me, is to put your pinky fingers up the nasel passage and feel for any miss placement. This may hurt but it is the best way to find out on your own.\n  But you should go see a doctor because the is a chance that it could swell up more ad cut the air way through your nose.

A deviated septum is a VERY common condition..and probably not the reason for the nosebleeds.  Try going to a different doctor with just a complaint about the nosebleeds and let them look further into that problem first and foremost.  Environmental factors such as very low humidity can lead to frequent nosebleeds as well as high blood pressure and trauma to the nasal tissues.  Rule out everything else before subjecting him to surgery when it might not even help.

Go to your doctor. You may have hypertension or the walls of your blood vessels may be innately weak.\n\nWhatever is causing it, it needs to be investigated.\n\nPlease - do see your physician.

this happens to me frequently when i my sinus' flare. i have chronic sinusitis. the blood is because of the amount of pressure that is building in your sinus cavity that it cause vessels to burst. if the antibiotics that your doc has prescribed is not clearing up your infection you are going to need something stronger.

It may be a nocebo, everyone's nose either clogs or runs after crying, but if you relate it to allergies the nocebo effect kicks in and you THINK you are allergic to something, and thus you "are" :P

Rupture organs, ulcers.\n\nGo to the ER now.  It's a very serious thing to be bleeding internally.  It's worth it to go to the ER, or an Urgent Care clinic, or any other clinic right now.

It could be stress, diet, disease....what has the doctor said about it?

Blame your tear ducts.  Toxins are released in tears when you cry, and your sinuses and eustachian tubes try to drain  them away.  Because of the toxins the nasal tissues are irritated and swell, making it hard to flush out the tears and mucus.\n\nWanna clear it up?  Eat a jalapeno, that'll get things running.

When I was younger I had a problem with my nose drying out and I would get frequent nose bleeds.  They pretty much stopped happening around 16.  Don't worry bout it bud, more than likely you will grow out of it.

I used to get bloody noses all the time. Dry air is part of the cause, so you could get a humidifier for your room. Another solution is to eat lots of fruits and veggies. Vitamin C helps. You can also have a doctor close off the ruptured blood vessel that's causing the bleeding ( this is what I finally did after 4 years). This will work or not depending on your situation, but it's worth a try.  I had to do it a second time but I haven't bled since then (over a year ago).
