Bleeding Nose
Overview
Though a bleeding nose may be a sign of a vitamin deficiency or high blood pressure, it is usually caused by a blow or overexcitement. It is considered a safety valve and should therefore be allowed to continue for at least 5 minutes. By that time it should have expelled an obstruction and relieved pressure. If you have regular bleeding on one side of the nose, which happens any time without warning, you can attribute it to the weather, physical exercise, sneezing or having a cold.
