Been Really Really Bad...

[pussnboots]

since last Tuesday. Started off with the usual tickly cough, sneezing etc. I have not been able to sleep due to cough. Anyway what is worrying me now is that I have some bad nose bleeds today, they just come on suddenly, last for 5 - 10 mins, the blood is really bright red, yesterday it was just from one nostril, now it's both, anyone able to tell me I'm not dying.

Puss - I am so glad that you have been seen by someone who could do something about. Full marks to "mrpuss" for getting on the case quickly in the night, too. Take it easy today.......

Yes they did, it was ok.

puss/anne......In 99% of cases, it is due to a blood vessel on the surface of the lining of the nose which is damaged because of constant irritation..wiping,sneezing and being on the surface is particularly vulnerable.

As one gets older, the blood vessels get less able to heal themselves and hence need help by cauterisation.

Glad you got it sorted out Puss.



Anne, you are naughty.

and the moral of the story.....................see gp sooner IMO, take care.
