blood and blood clots when blowing nose Posted: 01-18-08 16:23pm
Hey yall! Well I'm a 25 year old, none
smoker, normal weight, and in good health.
From time to time I will get a light nose
bleed, maybe once a month or so. For the
past 2 weeks however, when I blow my nose
in the morning, a lot of blood and what
appears to be blood clots come out. I live
on the Gulf Coast and have not had much
cold weather, so I haven't been running
the heater much....this is what usually
dries me out. Anyway, I don't have any
other health problems, and this probably
is no big deal, but I was just curious if
anyone else had the same thing.

Sorry, can't say as I do. Do you also
experience high cholesterol by chance?
Blood from the nose can be an indicator of
pre-stroke. One close friend has this
problem...and I don't want to scare you.
Do you think that the blood is caused
simply by dryness?

I really don't know about high
cholesterol...I don't think that its ever
been checked! I doubt that I have high
cholesterol though...I'm a vegetarian and
I work out at least 5 days a week. I'm
gonna call the doctor though and get a
check up to see what's going on because my
hubby is concerned. Thanks for your
response!

Yes...a routine physical can ease your
worries. Or are you off to the ENT
office? Let me know how it goes!

Going to the ENT tomorrow because I'm
thinking its sinus related and maybe I
need to go back on Zyrtec or Flonase. I'll
post and let you know!

Hey! Went good he said that I was very
dry.....I did'nt think that would be the
case because I have't used the heater much
yet, but in any case that's what he said.
So he told me to use a simple saline spray
twice a day along with a little bit of
vasiline on a Q-tip. He said that if it
continued that I should call him because
its easy to contract staph infection
inside your nose. I'm hoping this will
take care of the issue! Thanks so much for
your concern!
