Question: I woke up in the morning and experienced bleeding from the nose which continued for two days and then it stopped. But on the third day bleeding again started. I’d been on hypertension drugs since 2002 and stopped it till the bleeding incidence stopped. What must I do for permanent nose bleeding treatment?

Epistaxis is very common and affects almost everyone. Usually it is a result to trauma and association with hypertension is controversial. Epistaxis is not proportional to the severity of hypertension and should not be associated with it without thorough investigation.
Epistaxis is rarely fatal and some simple measures to control and treat nose bleed are:
- Remain calm.
- Sit upright and leaning forward.
