Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, you are right, since you are on plavix, you must seek medical help urgently, the nose bleed may not stop on its own, please go to an emergency room and get evaluated. Meanwhile, check your blood pressure, if it is high, take your usual blood pressure medicines.

Do let me know your progress once you are back from the hospital.

Wishing you speedy recovery.
