Frequent nosebleeds at night

Nosebleed is a common phenomenon in daily life. Many people have experienced nosebleeds. When you have a nosebleed, just stop the bleeding correctly. Of course, it is best to find out the cause of the nosebleed. If the nosebleed is caused by a disease, you must seek treatment in time. Many people find that nosebleeds are more likely to occur at night. So what is going on?

Nosebleed causes and treatments

Patients should pay attention to their diet and choose more "lung-clearing and blood-cooling" foods, especially in summer. It is best to use medicines that have the ability to kill and eliminate internal and external toxins, cool blood heat, and clear dryness and heat in the lungs.

Nosebleed in hot weather is not caused by internal heat

Heat is not the cause of nosebleeds. Some people feel that their nasal cavity is starting to feel a little dry, and there is blood in their nasal discharge; in serious cases, their nose suddenly starts to bleed and cannot be stopped. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nosebleeds are caused by the upward flow of qi and blood. The nose belongs to the orifice of the lungs. Generally speaking, any nasal disease is closely related to abnormalities in the lungs, liver and other parts of the body. When a person's Qi and blood rise, especially when the lung Qi is hot, the person will have a nosebleed. When the lung qi is overheated, blood or bleeding may occur in the fundus of the eyes. The causes of getting angry and nosebleed are the same, both are the result of the upward flow of Qi and blood, but getting angry is not the cause of nosebleed.

Nosebleeds are related to hot weather and dryness of the nasal cavity. When the nasal cavity is too dry, the capillaries inside will rupture and cause bleeding. From a clinical perspective, 90% of nosebleeds are vascular bleeding caused by blood vessel rupture. In this regard, patients do not need to be too nervous. In most cases, they can handle it themselves and stop the bleeding in time.

When your nose is bleeding, you can plug your nose with a tampon and tilt your head back to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. At the same time, you can also apply a cool towel to your forehead or nose to lower the temperature of your head and nose to relieve bleeding symptoms. If there is excessive bleeding in the nasal cavity and it is difficult to stop, you should see a doctor immediately.

Nosebleeds should be treated according to the situation

Some nosebleed situations require special attention.

When the weather is hot and dry, and people are angry, or even not well rested, their qi and blood may flow upward, leading to nasal bleeding. In addition, drinking alcohol and eating too much spicy food may also cause lung heat and nosebleeds. In addition, excessive exposure to the sun can cause blood vessels in the head to dilate, causing nosebleeds.

Nose bleeding, in addition to the dry climate, is also related to a person's age. When the weather is dry, the elderly are more likely to have blood in their nasal discharge. If an elderly person suddenly has a lot of nose bleeding that is difficult to stop, you should suspect that he or she has high blood pressure and it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Nosebleeds in young people are also related to fatigue, exercise, etc. Generally speaking, patients can stop bleeding on their own. However, if you have a sudden nosebleed without any warning, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out lesions such as nasal tumors as soon as possible.

How to prevent nosebleeds

Generally speaking, nasal bleeding due to ruptured blood vessels does not require special treatment. Since nose bleeding is related to lung heat, people should try to avoid situations that may cause lung heat in their diet and lifestyle. Drink less alcohol, eat less spicy food, and eat less food that may generate heat. On the contrary, you can eat more foods that clear away heat and reduce fire, such as bitter melon, mung bean soup, watermelon, cold drinks, etc. Take 3 grams of winter mulberry leaves, add Imperata root and Ophiopogon japonicus, and then add some licorice, and use them to make tea, which can achieve the purpose of clearing heat and reducing fire.
