Question: I'm 22 years of age, and I keep getting random nose bleeds, does anybody know why!?
Answers:
Nosebleeds are very common!. Most nosebleeds occur because of minor irritations or colds!. They can be frightening for some patients, but are rarely life threatening!.
The nose contains many tiny blood vessels that bleed easily!. Air moving through the nose can dry and irritate the membranes lining the inside of the nose, forming crusts!. These crusts bleed when irritated by rubbing, picking, or blowing the nose!.
The lining of the nose is more likely to become dry and irritated from low humidity, allergies, colds, or sinusitis!. Thus, nosebleeds occur more frequently in the winter when viruses are common and heated indoor air dries out the nostrils!. A deviated septum, foreign object in the nose, or other nasal blockage can also cause a nosebleed!.
Most nosebleeds occur on the tip of the nasal septum, the tissue that separates the two sides of the nose!. The septum contains many fragile, easily damaged blood vessels!. This form of nosebleed is usually easy to stop!. Less commonly, nosebleeds may occur higher on the septum or deeper in the nose!. Such nosebleeds may be harder to control!.
Occasionally, nosebleeds may indicate other disorders such as bleeding disorders or high blood pressure!.
Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (also called HHT or Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome) may be evidenced by nosebleeds!. This is a disorder involving a blood vessel growth similar to a birthmark in the back of the nose!.
Blood thinners such as Coumadin or aspirin may cause or worsen nosebleeds!.
Nasal polyps are small, sac-like growths made up of inflamed tissue lining the nose (nasal mucosa)!. When you blow your nose, bleeding can occur!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First, were you having nosebleeds already when you were a child!? Second, does anyone in the family have a history of nosebleeds!? Because, frequently, there is a familial predisposition for this - the nasal mucosa/walls are very sensitive!. Frequency for nosebleeding is increase during respiratory infections and in the winter when dry air irritates the nasal walls, resulting in formation of fissures and crusting!. It can also be stimulated by strenuous physical exercise!.

Trauma, including picking the nose and foreign bodies, is the most common cause of nose bleeding!. Nosebleeding is also associated with allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, polyps, and a variety of acute infections!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
