Nose Bleeds After High Altitude

[pastafreak]

My daughter has found she always has nosebleeds after being in a high altitude environment. Is there anything she can do or have done to limit this?
She's just returned from a week skiing, and is having nosebleeds now...she may have had a few while away too.

My sister gets that. It's the dryness. Happens on aeroplanes sometimes as well. She uses a nasal spray - I think it's just a saline spray.

Go to A&E if:
-your nosebleed lasts longer than 10 to 15 minutes
-the bleeding seems excessive
-you're swallowing a large amount of blood that makes you vomit
-the bleeding started after a blow to your head
-you're feeling weak or dizzy
-you're having difficulty breathing

The desirable 237SJ is spot on......succinctly put.

I should have thought about the saline spray...I use it myself. Also Vaseline during particularly cold weather. I've already suggested cauterisation. It seems to run in my family... I used to get nosebleeds with colds, and both my sister and father suffered with them.

Spath...she's not had a blow to the head...but thanks anyway.
