Over the past year I have noticed that I get some blood from my right nostril when I blow my nose. This has progressively gotten worse and seems to be quite bad after a heavy night out (smoking and drinking).

I am completely healthy otherwise.

Why does this happen? Is this something to be worried about?

Are you a coke addict.... ???

akshay67

Yes. Diet Coke though. Usually with whiskey.

Luke

Look...your young you have a mate called "Charlie". its ok loads of people do it... You spunk your wages on it..Talk krap all nights and then cant get a hard on...

Dont worry ..just dont wear white shirts.

I have this, suffered quite badly in my youth. Basically the veins that line your nostil are getting inflamed for some reason and when you blow your nose it bursts the vein. You can go and get the veins cortarised (sp?) which is what I did. It hasn't completely cured the problem but it's made it 98% better.

Try to get hold of Dr John Banks. Unfortunately he'll probably dagnose your nosebleed as detonationand recommend that you get a knocklink for ease of mind.

edit: And stop picking your nose!

Maybe it's time to stop picking your nose

Hello

As mentioned above, it's just the viens in your nose that are weak and some break if you blow your nose too hard. Or if you partake in certain substances.

They usually only cauterise your nose if you suffer from bad nose bleeds. I used to have nosebleeds that would last for 3 or 4 hours and I used to wake up in the mornings sometimes with blood all over my pillow / hair / everywhere.

In general, don't worry about it!

Remember Ralphy if your nose starts bleeding you're picking it too much........ or not enough

Cheers guys, sounds like it's nothing to worry about.

ajm

Probably a weak blood vessel. Buy some silver nitrate, stick a cotton bud in it then shove it up your nose.... that's all the Dr will do to cauterise it anyway!

beemerboy

i had this once.
Funny enough it happened 10 seconds after i asked this Hells angel chappie to move his fat unwashed **** out of the way of the bar, so i can get served... - strange that.

anyway, it went away and that was that. (ruined a perfectly good shirt though)

see your doc, it wont hurt.

all the best

Probably a deviated nasal septum or more accurately whitestickyupthenoseitis

Edited to say:

Both of the above suggestions are a joke so go see your GP or ring NHS Direct

ROFLMAO He'd probably recomend some cure using a dawes with an enlarged bleed (no pun) hole as well

EvilKyote

Then again it could be your brain melting and dripping out through your nose

Luke

All these typical stupis Scoobynet responses....


You can cure it.

Go out and find a wild horse....

Eric Clapton had a titanium insert put in his hooter, either that or use the other nostril when you 'toot'

DrJP

How old are you?

Its probably nothing but if you're over say 50 I'd get it checked out

You might have a hedgehog stuck up there. Apparently they like sneeking up people's nostrils at night, as it's a safe, warm place to rest. But they go too far, get trapped and whenever you blow your nose, they get frightened, roll up into a ball, and their spikes cut the inside of your nose.

You could try the RSPCA - maybe Rolf Harris can put his dijjerydoo into reverse and suck it out.

Dr JP, I'm in my mid-20's.

Reading some of the responses in this thread, it looks like I'm not the only one who needs to see a doctor.

Katana

Worst still, he'll probably just tell us to go and read Maximum Boost by Corky Bell and we can find our cure there.

Chrisgr31

Personally I would go and see the doctor. It could be a sign of high blood pressure.

Chances are a trip to the Doctors would be more re-assurring than posting here!

Duck_Pond

Could also be a puffer-fish, if you've been swimming in any tropical fish tanks recently.

Akshay,

Tommy Cooper had the answer, don't do it!

Buy a knocklink and read Corky Bell.

And let your GP have a look up your nose and check your BP .

I get the bleeding nose occasionaly. I blow my nose and blam. Just week vessels in my nose. My blood pressure is spot on.

My brother had it worse and had the veins quarterised. Hurt like hell and his sense of smell has gone. But no bleeding nose anymore.

LOL @ John
