What causes nose bleeds?
* Dry air: Dry air can irritate and dry out the nasal passages, making them more susceptible to bleeding.* Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages, which can lead to nosebleeds.
* Sinusitis: Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses, which can cause pressure and pain in the face and nose. This pressure can lead to nosebleeds.
* Trauma: Injury to the nose, such as a blow to the face or a nose picking habit, can cause nosebleeds.
* Certain medications: Some medications, such as aspirin, blood thinners, and decongestants, can increase the risk of nosebleeds.
* Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, liver disease, and kidney disease, can increase the risk of nosebleeds.
* Heredity: Some people are more likely to get nosebleeds than others due to genetics.
