The most common causes of nosebleeds are blowing your nose too hard, a cold or flu, nasal decongestants, sinusitis, picking your nose, hot or cold weather, allergies, high altitude, deviated septum, and liver disease. http://www.symptomfind.com/health/causes-of-nosebleeds 3. The first aid procedures for taking care of nosebleeds are to “sit upright and lean forward. By remaining upright, you reduce blood pressure in the veins of your nose. This discourages further bleeding. Sitting forward will help you avoid swallowing blood, which can irritate your stomach.” www.mayoclinic.com/health/first-aid-nosebleeds/HQ00105 4. Two things you should not do with a nosebleed are don’t pick or blow your nose and don’t bend down for several hours. www.mayoclinic.com/health/first-aid-nosebleeds/HQ00105 5. You seek medical attention if bleeding last more than 20 minutes or if you fall, trip, or injured your head including a punch to your nose which breaks it. 6. If your doctor rules out a sinus infection, allergies, or irritated blood vessels, he or she may order other tests to see why you're getting frequent nosebleeds. Rarely, a bleeding disorder or abnormally formed blood vessels could be a possibility. 7. Tilt your head forward and pinch the soft part of your nose (the nostrils) together just below the bony center part of your nose. Applying pressure helps stop the blood flow and the nosebleed will usually stop with 10 minutes of steady pressure — don't keep checking to see if the bleeding has stopped. http://kidshealth.org/ 8. Access the brachial artery on the inner side of the arm, above the elbow bone, between the large upper arm muscles. This may not be as apparent as the carotid artery Press the back of the knee, directly behind the knee cap, to access the popliteal artery. Do not bend or move the leg to put it in a more convenient location. Reach around to the back of the leg and press up. http://www.livestrong.com/article/96395-pressurepoints-stop-bleeding/#ixzz26T3wzDol 9. The symptoms of internal bleeding depend upon where the bleeding is located, how much bleeding has occurred, and what structures and functions in the body are affected. Blood outside the circulatory system (the heart and blood vessels) is very irritating to tissues, causing inflammation and pain. Examples of some internal bleeding situations are listed below. www.medicinenet.com
