What is the reason for nosebleed when waking up

When you wake up every morning, you should feel relaxed all over. After a night's sleep, you will relieve a lot of fatigue. However, many people will find that they have a nosebleed when they wake up early. This sudden situation will make people feel extremely surprised and nervous, and they don't know what is going on. Under normal circumstances, nosebleed is a relatively normal condition, so don't be overly nervous.

What causes nosebleed when waking up?

When you sleep, the room is too dry and your nasal cavity is in a dry environment for a long time. After you get up, the capillaries in your nasal cavity become congested and swollen due to the sudden change in body position, and they rupture, causing bleeding.

When you have a nosebleed, you can use local materials, roll a clean paper towel into a small plug, stuff it into the bleeding nostril, and tilt your head back. You can also apply cold compresses to the skin outside the nose. The bleeding usually stops within a few minutes.

It is normal to have a nosebleed once or twice, so don't be nervous. If you have recurring nosebleeds, you should go to the hospital to find out the cause.

Nosebleed Treatment

1. The blood clot should be blown out before stopping the bleeding to avoid the inability to stop the bleeding due to the inability to close the wound.

2. Pinch part of the nose flesh with your fingers and keep pressing for five to seven minutes to help stop the bleeding.

3. Ice compress can cause blood vessels to contract and reduce bleeding.

4. After the blood coagulates, it will form a blood clot and scab. At this time, it is best not to pick your nose to avoid peeling off the scab and causing recurrence of nosebleeds.

5. If your left (right) nostril is bleeding, raise your right (left) arm and the bleeding will stop after a few minutes.

6. Push the nostril on the bleeding side towards the bridge of the nose and hold it there for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the blood in it to coagulate and stop the bleeding. If bleeding occurs on both sides, pinch both nostrils. After the nosebleed stops, there are often blood clots in the nostrils. Do not rush to get them out. Try to avoid sneezing and rubbing hard to prevent further bleeding.

7. When the patient's left (right) nostril is bleeding, another person can hook the middle finger of the patient's right (left) middle finger and bend it forcefully. Generally, the bleeding can be stopped in a few tens of seconds. Or, you can tie the root of the patient's middle finger with a cloth strip, and if the left (right) nostril is bleeding, tie the right (left) middle finger. After the nosebleed stops, untie the cloth strip.

8. Take an appropriate amount of garlic, peel it and mash it into garlic paste, apply it on the soles of your feet, and wrap it with gauze to stop bleeding quickly.

9. Let the patient sit on a chair and soak his feet in hot water to stop nosebleeds. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the "spleen" has the function of regulating blood, and the "qi" has the function of absorbing blood. When the spleen and qi function normally, blood can flow normally in the blood vessels instead of flowing out of the veins. If the spleen and qi are weak, bleeding is likely to occur. Another important cause of bleeding is blood heat. Whether it is false heat or real heat, when it is excessive to a certain extent, it will force blood to flow out of the blood vessels and cause bleeding.

Therefore, the causes of epistaxis are nothing more than spleen deficiency and blood heat. Traditional Chinese medicine treats epistaxis mainly from two aspects: strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and absorbing blood, and clearing away heat, cooling blood and stopping bleeding. For example, people with systemic malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, coagulation dysfunction, and some unexplained frequent nosebleeds accompanied by symptoms of qi deficiency can be treated with the method of strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi and absorbing blood. Nosebleeds caused by high fever due to infectious diseases are caused by the invasion of heat evil into the blood. Nosebleeds in patients with hypertension are often caused by insufficient kidney yin, hyperactivity of liver fire, and other nosebleeds accompanied by heat symptoms. Treatment starts with clearing heat, cooling blood and stopping bleeding.
