My nose exploded

I don't but my middle daughter used to get them a lot, mostly when it was either very hot or very cold. The only way we could deal with them was to let her sit holding tissue with her head forward. This often went on for five minutes or more but never the ten minutes I was advised to wait before taking her to hospital. My mum used to say a nosebleed was a way of keeping your lood pressure down so maybe you were getting stressed.

I used to get them alot as a kid and my mom would have me sit back on the chair with a tissue and pinch my nose closed tilt my head back and have me put ice over the bridge of it. The cold will stop it give it about 10 to 15 minutes of doing this then try lifting your head upright again and if it's still bleeding continue tilting your head back with the ice on it-it should stop eventually.

I never get nosebleeds thank goodness. My motherinlaw just had a major one but she is 86. I hope I never do get nosebleeds because I do not think I would enjoy having them at all. I hope yours will be fine and you will not have to continue with kleenex in your nose indefinitely.

I duct tape it shut and breath through my mouth. We Canadians are very inventive with duct tape. ROFL

Hi p1ke fortunatley I don't have to suffer from nosebleeds but when it does happen I hold the bridge of my nose and look up that notmally helps blessings littleowl

Obviously you aren't going to Dr. Rosekitty..so come to my office and take your clothes off and lie down....

I used to get nose bleeds because of my blood pressure or having a cold. But now I don't get them very often thankfully..might want to have your blood pressure checked out.

I don't get noseb bleeds that often, only when I have a bad cold, and I've blown my nose a few too many times. Usually when it starts bleeding it means there's not that much left in there to get rid of, and my cold is almost gone.

i cant remember when the last time i had nose bleed..but my son always had when he was still a kid..what i do was i let him sat and with head inclined up and i hold his nose for a minute or so..then after that i let him wash his face on cold water..and thats it..gone!!im not using any cotton or a tissue or whatever to just put inside his nostrils...but i used it only for the mess...its what the doctor had instructed me to do so when that happens to my child..and if it still bleed after the initial first aid then i had to rush him to the hospital..but luckily it never reached to that extent..ever..

I don't get nose bleeds thank goodness. The only time my nose bleeds is when it's dry inside but only a few drops.

I've never had a bad nosebleed, but my Mom has. Hers can last 20 to 30 minutes, making the entire house smell like blood! She got white as a ghost last time and felt faint. She was told to start using Ocean nasal spray (OTC) daily to help keep her nasal passages from drying out. The ENT was going to cauterize her nose, but he said he saw too many places needing cauterzed. He told her that when she gets one, make a roll out of gauze, soak it with Afrin Nasal Spray and insert it into the nostril. He said he didn't normally recommend Afrin, but that it would stop the nose bleed. It works. Using the Ocean keeps them at bay most of the time, too. Hope yo feel better!

Oh poor Pikey, Hope it stops and you feel better soon. I am lucky in that I have never had a nosebleed ever as far as I can remember. Take it easy and relax for a while eh! Big healing huggles. Ellie :D

I nicknamed my first wife "Coati" because her nose reminded me of a coatimundi (picture at http://www.juliesjungle.com/coati.php )

i have rarely had a nose bleed and they weren't much. BUT once a got a nosebleed in the middle of a final exam and it ran heavily covering me in blood. i was shocked and then horrified because i was taking a test that was timed. but the blood wouldn't stop so i went up to the teacher and asked if i could go to the bathroom because i had a bloody nose. she looked at me and said yes. ( i was afraid she might think it was a plan to cheat on the test.) so i went to the girls room and washed myself and held a towel to my nose til it got better. i went to finish the test but time was soon up and my test was incomplete. :( i don't remember what i got on the test. i don't remember it hurting me. but of all times. i never had a nose bleed like that again.

Ha ha..sounded funny the way you described your nose.. I only bleeded like once or twice in my life,by the nose I mean... and it wasn't a bad bleeding, it wasn't dripping out or something.. But I do know people who bleed sometimes,my cousin used to have that problem when we were little,I don't know the exact cause but I know that you should lay down, and keep the ..err was it left or right arm(?) up and keep your head on the back as much as possible,so the nose is up in the air:)) and use tissue if necessary.. it should pass in a few minutes...

I am prone to nosebleeds. I have a tiny weeny little nose. I don't know whether a big or small nose is worse. Small noses get blocked easier but, I assume, big noses hold more and, therefore, more comes out at a time. As I am fairly used to having nose bleeds, I tend to treat them the same way I would a runny nose. I have been known to do what you have done when the bleed seems to be going on forever. There is very little one can do about such a simple ailment. Sit still, let it come out and don't get blood everywhere. It doesn't matter too much whether you put your head up or down or sideways. It may be possible to choke if you put your head up but, as you are a grown up, you're not likely to because you'll put your head down again.

I don't get nose bleeds. Did you know that if your nose runs and your feet smell, then that means you were built upside down. It's true.

You got it wrong, remenber the Lord created the Fart, and placed a smell on it, so deaf peolple could enjoy it too; so got double gifted.

yes, it happened to me when i was little. my mom just put kleenex. she said is because of the weather. it is summer that time.good thing it only happened once.

I did sometimes before.I laid down and put ice bag on my forehead.Stay for awhile until the bleeding stops.Thats all i always did but lately i never nose bleeding anymore.My daughter does sometimes and i did the same as mine.Let her laid down and have cold compress.
