Hello,

Your symptoms could be suggestive of uncontrolled high blood pressure values. For this reason, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values.

It is also necessary checking coagulation tests and liver function tests, coupled with complete blood count for the platelet count.

If all the above tests result normal, and your blood pressure values are normal, there is no reason to panic. It could be just a sensitive nasal mucosa.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
