Got your attention, didn't I? LOL
My dad has a heart condition and has to take several times of medicines each day, one of them being blood thinners. Every now and then his nose will bleed out of control for no apparent reason. He's had to go to the emergency room to get it to stop. The first time he went to the ER, they put cocaine up his nose to stop the bleeding!! They told dad that it stops the bleeding for a non user however if one were to be using cocaine, it would make the bleeding much worse! Incredible isn't it?! I thought so. So if you use cocaine, it's best to be forth right about it for the doctors will find out anyway.
Non user of cocaine, cocaine will make the bleeding stop. For a user, it'll make it worse. It just blows my mind! How about you?

wo to me that sound so stupid lol. his meds are causing his vessels to constrict and get small .my dad has nose bleeds and the blood thinners don't help t all . try keeping a vaporizer around and going to put moisture into the air so his nose does not dry out

i hope there will be no more problems. i have had one nose bleed in my life and i didnt like it at all. someone said holding a ice pak on the nose helps.

Ice packs do help and holding your head as far back as possible does something to the nose bleed too but I don't know what exactly. But if you can't get it to stop no matter what you do then the ER is the best place to go but I must warn you though, dad said it stung like hell! But it did the trick.

Hmmm I think you would have to be careful who you told this to as they might enjoy getting nosebleeds and the cure!!! LOL
