What Causes Sudden Nosebleed After Lifting Heavy Weight?
I have had two sudden nosebleeds after I did a lifting of 3lb weights. Yesterday was the first and it was out of one side, no clots just very runny. Today, I lifted again for my upper arms and almost immediately it started again and it was mostly on one side but some on the other. I am a 74 year old woman with a fluctuating blood pressure from 138/78 to sometimes 150 over 80. I am on Losartan and Amlodopine for blood pressure.

Hi,
Due to hypertension and lifting heavy weight might give rise abrupt rise of blood pressure giving rise capillary bleeding producing nosebleed.
Go for measuring blood pressure.
Put Otrivin nasal drops.
apply ice pack on nose.
Avoid removing crust from nose.
Ok and take care.
