Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Elevated Cholesterol Levels Cause Nose Bleeds?
I am a 50 year old woman who exercises regularly, watches my weight and eats right. Recently I have been having severe nosebleeds 1 - 2x a day. Very difficult to control. I just found out my cholesterol is 294, HDL 93, and LDL 180. I just wondered if there is a connection.
I advise you to closely monitor your blood pressure frequently during the day.
I would also recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolyte and coagulation tests to establish a possible cause.
Hope to have been helpful!
Greetings! Dr. Iliri

Can Elevated Cholesterol Levels Cause Nose Bleeds?
Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! Regarding your concern, your symptoms don t seem to be related to the cholesterol levels. Have you measured your blood pressure during these episodes? A high blood pressure or a coagulation disorder could cause severe and frequent nosebleeds. I advise you to closely monitor your blood pressure frequently during the day. I would also recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolyte and coagulation tests to establish a possible cause. Hope to have been helpful! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
