Does Dry Throat Have Effect On Nose Bleed?

I am 82 150 lb.. reacently diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis...I woke up with an unbelievable dry throat, plus a nose bleed 2 oclock in the morning.scared the crap out of me.... I do have nose bleeds periodically ,[ but never at night] as years ago i picked my nose and ripped the main arterie, and had it cared for in the hospital... My question is. does the dry throat have any connection to the nose bleed. and should I see a doctor.

Dryness of throat along with nose is a common cause of nasal bleed.As excessive dryness can lead to mucosal crusting and thus easy friability of blood vessels.It is better to investigate by performing an endoscopy of nose after consulting an ENT.Start saline irrigation of nose till then
