What Causes Unusual Nasal Bleeding Upon Waking Up?
Hi, I just had an unusual nosebleed, after waking up in bed. It was quite heavy for 1/2 hour but now has stopped. Tonight I uses vicks vapour rub in my nose before bed. I do this often, as I get stuffy. I also had a drink of water with some baking soda added for mild acid reflux. Would these factors be related to the nosebleed? It is fall here, and the air is dry too.
