Hi, can anyone help?
At the moment I have a head cold and I'm also getting terrible nose bleeds from my right nostril. This is something that developed with me about 6/7 yrs ago. I NEVER have nose bleeds at any other time, but over the past few years, a head cold has always resulted in having a right nostril bleed. Sometime the bleed is light but other times it is quite gushing.
Anyway, started to get a light bleed a few days ago, but last night before I went to bed, it was like blood bath in my bathroom. I was saturating tissues and it took ages to stop. I admit, I didn't do the pinching things (I was just pressing tissues to my nostril) because I'm not use to treating nose bleeds and was getting in a panic at how much it was gushing.
Then this morning, I just blew my nose very lightly and it was off again. I'm not blowing my nose hard but I just have this unbearable and constant trickling of mucus which is needing me to blow my nose every few minutes and is driving me mad! I'm trying to keep my nostril lubricated but this is a waste of time when I have to keep blowing and wiping.
I'm meant to be attending an event this evening and tomorrow and I'm really concerned that the slightest tap is going to kick it off!
Any advice??
