1. Since MS is associated with Hemoptysis (coughing of blood) but since there is frequent nasal bleeding thus check with a Cardiologist for signs of Malignant Hypertension ( non pulmonary cause)and obtain a CT head (if necessary)

2. Obtain a chest X-ray and also get an E.N.T Opinion (if clinical examination comes normal) to look for possible causes
