Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Nosebleed CAUTION: Nosebleeds which occur after a blow on the head can be a sign of a fractured skull. Seek medical help immediately. To stop a nosebleed:Sit or stand up. Keep your head higher than the level of your heart. By remaining upright, you reduce blood pressure in the veins of your nose. Pinch your nose with your thumb and index finger and breathe through your mouth. Continue to hold for about 10 minutes. Don't apply ice to the nose. This is of little or no benefit. The cold only tightens the blood vessels on the surface of the nose and doesn't penetrate deeply enough to help. To prevent re-bleeding after bleeding has stopped, don't pick or blow your nose for several hours after the bleeding episode; don't bend down; and keep your head higher than the level of your heart. Seek medical care immediately if: The bleeding lasts for more than 20 to 30 minutes. You feel weak or faint, which can result from the blood loss. The bleeding is heavy and the amount of blood loss is great. Bleeding begins by trickling down the back of the neck. Herbal Treatments Slippery Elm is a specific for mucous membranes. Try sniffing a little Slippery Elm Powder. Shepherd's Purse is 'hemostatic', which means "stops bleeding". Yarrow is also 'hemostatic', hence the common name "Nosebleed". Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 fyi - in adults (not sure about children) nosebleeds can be related to high blood pressure - if anyone is suffering from them out of the blue - Get checked out!! Fish oil or not. martha --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Also, please keep in mind that a lack of vitamin K may cause bleeding in infants, children and adults. And if there is malabsorption or a lack of green vegetables or vitamin K supplementation, this is a likely cause. Vitamin K is also necessary for proper bone growth and preventing osteporosis.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 If I remember reading, the fish oils may thin the blood so sometimes you need to get off of them when you have surgery. Anyway, I am very prone to nose bleeds. I used to get them every Saturday night (Sunday morning). After years of not understanding why, I finally figured it out. I ususally had wine on Saturday nights. The wine thins my blood and causes nose bleeds. Now, I don't drink wine very often, and I'm prepared to get nose bleeds when I do.
