Nosebleeds (may be TMI for some)
Meanwhile I will do something about the (lack of) humidity in the flat
and get something to moisten my passages as that might be part of the issue. Though is sounds a bit gross, I've found that KY jelly works really well. Put a bit in each nostril and then inhale to move it deeper into the nasal passages. Its water soluble and odorless, unlike Vaseline which is greasy and smells. I used to get nosebleeds from dry airplane air and this eliminated them. Though your problem sounds much more severe it still might help. Mary 215/145/164 |

What I think is this: I have some dodgy blood vessels which are very close to the surface in my nose. Even closer than most other people. Added to this my blood seems thinner now I low carb than it used to be - it is disctinctly more liquid. It's now liquid in the way that water is liquid rather than (as it used to be) liquid in the way that single cream is liquid. When I last gave blood I was able to fill the bag in about ten minutes rather than the half an hour it had usually taken me, so I'm sure I'm not imagining it. ALSO!!!! Something VERY important! If you get nosebleeds very easily your preferred painreliever should be Tylenol, not aspirin or Ibuprofen or Naproxen sodium. I cannot take anything but Tylenol due to horrible nosebleeds as a child. I once tried Ibuprofen when I was 27 and woke up with my pillow totally covered in blood and it pouring from my nose. Ive had all these same problems all my life. Unfortunately I cant use a humidifier in my house cause it stirs up molds which make my allergies worse. preesi |

A very easy way to moisturize the dry heated air in your flat would be simply to set an oven-proof container of water on or near your heater. I use a copper bowl on top of my heater. I used to use bread pans filled with water on the radiators, when I lived in New England. And a nice, non-artificial-smelling way to add a nice scent is to add a few cloves, a stick of cinnamon, and a few drops of lemon oil to the water (commercial pot pourri mixtures and oils all make me sneeze). A lot of allergy prone folks in my family have some problems with minor nosebleeds in the dry heating season, but my mother had worse nosebleeds like the OP, that had to be cauterized. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

They can clog up with limescale if you have hard water, though, just like a coffeemaker. I think she means the dampness fosters mold growing on variou surfaces around the house. That's why *I* don't use them. -- Saffire 205/176/125 Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |

When I go out west, I get several nosebleeds from the dry air. Interesting observation. Years ago I saw the ER doctor give a man cocaine to try to stop his nosebleed. Didn't work, they had to cauterize it. Also when I was a Paramedic I had a patient die from a nosebleed (anterior aneurysm). He had a nosebleed for 2 days before his wife called an ambulance.
