What causes nosebleeds in the morning?

Many people are worried about nosebleeds when they wake up in the morning. In fact, there are many reasons that may cause nosebleeds, such as nasal trauma, dry scabs on the mucous membrane, acidosis, or problems with the cardiovascular system, internal organs, and various infections.

1. There are many reasons for nosebleeds, including nasal trauma, dry scabs on the mucous membrane, damage from acid and alkali foreign bodies, excessive sun exposure, excessive drinking, etc. Frequent nosebleeds are a complication of the cardiovascular system, internal organs, various infections, blood diseases and other diseases.

2. Nosebleeds in children are often a sign of influenza or acute respiratory diseases. If purulent discharge from the nose precedes the nosebleed, then a foreign body may be the primary cause. At this time, it can only be removed by a doctor.

3. As we all know, about 5 kilograms of blood circulates in the body of an adult. Losing 200-400 ml of blood at a time can be recovered quickly, and the human body will not actually feel it. Nosebleeds in patients with hypertension often lead to anemia.

4. Most people's nosebleeds occur in the blood vessels in the front of the nose. How should we help someone with a nosebleed and what measures should we take? First, we need to let the patient sit down, keep his head straight, and loosen his collar and belt. In order to stop nose bleeding, some people tilt their head back. This is a wrong practice because when the blood flows into the throat, people will swallow, which will increase the blood flow. In addition, the blood flowing in through the pharynx can irritate the stomach and cause vomiting. This may also cause increased bleeding. If the blood is swallowed, it will be impossible to accurately determine the amount of bleeding, which is not conducive to diagnosis.

5. You should not tilt your head forward too low. Usually, you can put a small cotton plug into the nostrils and clamp the sides of the nose for 3-5 minutes, and the bleeding will stop smoothly. If possible, it is best to dip the tampon in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, which can enhance blood clotting.

6. As we all know, blood vessels contract when we are cold. So you can stick cotton, towel or handkerchief soaked in cold water on the bridge of your nose. Within an hour, you can place an ice pack on the bridge of your nose for 1-2 minutes, every 2-3 minutes.
