The worst part is, it's hard to stop it. Having years and years of countless nose bleeds because I pick my nose too much, because it's too dry or because of high blood pressure(?), I am rather used to it and know how to stop it.
Only thing I hate about it is that when it starts bleeding and wont stop for almost 5-10 minutes. Plug up my nose with toilet/tissue paper but it just seeps through. Look up and the flows back down my throat (hate it when that happens but I can regurgitate it back in my mouth and I start to look like a cannibal). The most serious occurrence happened during the trip back from Colorado in spring break.
In the hotel where we spent our night taking a break from the 16 hour trip back, I woke up in the middle of the night after feeling a familiar thick liquid flowing down my throat. I knew I was bleeding and rushed to the toilet before I made any mess of the area. Stood at the sink for 5 to 8 minutes and feeling very light headed. Loosing blood. Trying every trick I know to stop it. Didn't work. Finally after a while of repeated trying, it stopped.
Only thing that I can think of to explain this is that I'm lacking some nutrients (vitamin K if I remember correctly). Back in form 2 or form 3, I was really enthusiastic about the science/ biology class. There was one section of that class that requires us to learn the use of nutrients and vitamins as well as the side effects for lacking them. Vitamin K if I'm right, is what help makes your blood to solidify and thus clogging up the tears in your skin (that reaches a blood vessel) should you bleed.
