What Could Cause Sudden Nose Bleed?
I am 60 years old, been dieting since January and have lost 42 pounds. I eat lots of fruits, veggies, fiber rich products and occasionally chicken and fish. I speed walk on a treadmill six days a week. I have had two nosebleeds recently, the first ones in my life. Could there be a connection

dear many causes for nose bleed most common causes are nasal priming, dryness. other possibilities like thrombocytopenia,hypertension,liver problems etc.. use normal saline spray, avoid forceful blowing of nose. apply pressure,if symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and do nose pack. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
