Hi , I am a 15 year old male. I have
never had nosebleeds before and they and I
started to get them when I started to
sleep in the basement. My bed/couch was
kind of near the machine that produced all
the heat that went all over the house. I
have been reading on the internet about
nosebleeds and then I saw it say that a
nosebleed could be a sign of a brain
tumor. This was only about a month ago.
I have always felt fine even when I had
the nosebleeds. I just never thought
anything about it. I would wake up in the
middle of the night with a nosebleed , it
wouldent last long. Never causes me any
trouble. But after I read that thing
about nosebleeds and brain tumors I became
kinda paranoid. Then I went back and read
in detail about brain tumors and came to
the conclusion on my own that I did not
have a brain tumor because I did not have
any of the other symptoms. Then I started
watching myself very carefully , actually
looking for signs of a brain tumor. I
dont know if its because of movies and
picture and things iv seen. But if I had
a headache or so I would get kinda
worried. I feel perfectly fine and in
great health when im not thinking about it
, I think I might have some kind of
anxiety or something. A few weeks ago in
pe I got smacked hard in the arm with a
basketball and also got ran into in that
same arm. I had a tingly pain today in my
left arm which was the arm that got hit
and everything , I dont have any
discoordination with it or anything. I
just kinda got a little throbby feeling up
near the bicep and near my thumb but that
went away in like a minute. So I dont
know if subcontiously im kinda paranoid
about it so I think im getting symptoms
which are nothing at all. I mean , I used
to get headaches before this and never
even thought twice about it , I was in a
head on head collision before in school
tho and I went for a head xray , I was
fine and had just a small concussion. Are
these just normal after effects of a
collision like that? Oh yeah , and for
the nosebleed thing , it was like , maybe
twice a month or I might not get it
sometimes. I have read about people with
exact symptoms as mine with the nosebleeds
and its just to get a humidifier for my
room and keep my nasal area moist. When I
have a nosebleed its more near the front
of my left nostril. It has never went
down my throat or anything, so basicly ,
am I all right and im just kinda paranoid
:) , or is there something wrong with me?
Other times im just feeling fine. Its
just kinda when I think about it .

Got my nose checked out , it was because I
was picking it too much and because of the
dry air down in my basement.
