Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurring heavy nosebleeds. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like infection, use of blood thinning medications , trauma, allergic and nonallergic rhinitis, hypertension, underlying systemic manifestations and nasal infection such as nasal polyp. Need not to worry. You should take nasal rinses. Avoid touching or picking nose with any sharp object. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may check vitals, may order ECG, TMT and complete blood profile. For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and take steam thrice a day. You should maintain hygiene and do nasal saline rinses.
Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
