My nephew (who I raised) had the same problem.  We were told, by more than 1 doctor, that young males have a higher incidence of nose bleeds, and it is not uncommon for them to last into their 20's.  They told us that usually it is caused by having a "dry" nose.  We started keeping a teapot of water on the stove, especially in the winter, since the heat, causes the air in houses to be dry.  Of course we kept the pot on a low heat, and let it simmer and that put moisture in the air.  This did help with his nosebleeds.  He also had blood that poured out of his nose, and it took a long time to stop it.  \nYou might ask your doctor about the blacking out.  I'm pretty sure this is due to the stress and adrenaline from the struggle of fighting.  (Kind of like a person fainting).  \nThis is the only explanation the doctors gave us about our nephew, but they don't seem concerned about the problem either.  They have assured us that he is not a Hemophiliac, and he is not Anemic.

It's most likely that you are suffering from allergies, if you find that your nose is running alot or even if you are blowing it alot, and maybe even sucking it back up sometimes, these are symptoms that cause a back up, your nasal tubes are connected to your ear tubes, It's that time of year you probrably need to take a prescribed          \nantihistimine, they are the most likely to work and trust they work good!

Is it only during the night, or occasionally during daytime hours also? Sometimes this can happen at night if the humidity in the air is low. You're inside the house all night, and if the humidity is low, it can cause dryness inside the nose, which can lead to bleeding. I might suggest the use of a humidifier in each of their rooms as a test. You may want to run it only at night, since some windows (especially with wood trim), can be sensitive to absorbing humidity causing them to swell. Good luck!

im thinking its because your sinues are dried out, and when blowing your nose, the small blood vessels in the area break. i wouldnt worry unless it doesnt stop, try not to blow your nose so much, if its neccessary to blow it, do so gently. i had to have sinus surgery after years iof having sinus infections that would not go away, i had retention cysts in the sinuses in the cheeks, if your continuing to have sinus infections this may be something you would want to discuss with your physician

S'not funny, is it? It's why most people get nose bleeds when they have colds, cos they bust blood vessels trying to get at stuff which isn't there.

Nosebleed\n\nWhat is a nosebleed? \nA nosebleed occurs when the membranes lining the inner nose are disturbed or irritated enough to cause abnormal bleeding. The medical term for nosebleed is epistaxis. \n\nThere are 2 types of nosebleeds: anterior and posterior. If the bleeding is near the front of the nose, it is an anterior nosebleed. If the bleeding is from the back of the nose, it is a posterior nosebleed. An anterior nosebleed is usually not as severe or serious as a posterior nosebleed. \n\nHow does it occur? \nThe most common causes of nosebleed are: \n\nA breakdown in the membranes lining the nose. This can be triggered by dry air or probing, bumping, picking, or rubbing your nose. Blowing your nose forcefully can also cause a nosebleed, especially if the nasal membrane is already inflamed because of allergies or an infection, such as a sinus infection. \nInjury to the face or nose. \nRebleeding from an area of a previous nosebleed. \nHigh altitude. \nDrug abuse involving the nose, such as cocaine snorting or glue sniffing. \nHigh blood pressure. \nMedicine that increases the time it takes for your blood to clot. \nMedical problems that prevent your blood from clotting normally. \nIf you have a nosebleed after a heavy blow to your head, it could mean you have a fractured skull. You should go to the hospital right away. \n\nWhat are the symptoms? \nSymptoms of anterior nosebleed are bleeding that stops and starts or constant bleeding out of the front of your nose. Blood can flow from one or both nostrils. It may flow into your throat. \n\nSymptoms of posterior nosebleed include rapid bleeding from the back of the nos or a slow, steady ooze. Sometimes the blood flows back into your throat and you are coughing up blood. It is more common with posterior nose bleeding to lose blood quickly. \n\nHow is it diagnosed? \nIf you see your health care provider when you have a nosebleed, he or she will have you sit up and lean forward to determine the rate and site of the bleeding. Depending on the amount of bleeding you are having, your provider may check your pulse and blood pressure and take a blood sample to check for anemia. You may need tests to check the ability of your blood to clot and your blood type in case you lose too much blood and need a transfusion. \n\nHow is it treated? \nMost nosebleeds are minor and respond to first aid. First aid for a nosebleed includes these steps: \n\nWhen your nose starts bleeding, sit up and lean forward to prevent blood from passing into your throat. \nPinch the nose firmly together between the thumb and index finger, just below the nasal bones, and hold it for 5 full minutes. \nIf it continues to bleed, hold it again for another 5 minutes.

You're nose becomes dehydrated and needs to stay moist. You will probably need to use some saline mist up your nose.

I had this problem associated with a sore throat and nose bleed. Turned out the air in my room was to dry, so I put a humidifier on at night, drink plenty of water before I go to bed and keep a glass of water on my night stand. If it dosen't clear up in a week or two you may want to see a doctor.

It might just be a bloody nose from dry air, and some of it ran down the back of your throat into your mouth. Don't panic. If the nose bleed stops after several minutes, you're probably okay. If not, go see a doctor. If it stops but happens frequently, then go see a doctor still.\n\nAnswer update to your question update:\n\nYour Dad doesn't do coke, does he? I've heard that snorting cocaine can cause a hole in the lining of your nose. That would cause bleeding. He needs to see a doctor. If he doesn't do coke, then it could be something very serious, such as cancer. If he can't afford to go to a doctor, look into a public health clinic. Call information to find out more.\n\nNext update: Well, I'm glad he doesn't do coke. But I am seriously hoping that he's gone to the doctor by now.

The question should be: what did you change recently?\n\nThere are a couple of things that can have this temporary and usually innocuous effect...\n\nIf you've changed your diet or exercise routine recently. Changes in blood pressure could be responsible.\n\nAlso, altitude changes will almost certainly cause this. If you recently moved and your new location is significantly lower or higher then you may see significant blood from either nostril.\n\nMy advice would be to closely monitor the situation and if it doesn't clear up or gets significantly worse then see your doctor.\n\n--\nsf

I am a certified doctor RBH at this is what we are told by medical legislation 43.56\nHold the side of your nose that is bleeding- with pressure from your fingers and apply a cold compress. Don't tilt your head too much the nose is connected to your air pipes and lungs, etc, and the blood will pool down that way. If the nose does not stop bleeding in 15 mins, seek medical attention. \n\nBe gentle with it for a while after it does stop, don't blow it too hard, etc. Don't take aspirin for the pain, or ibuprofen, they thin your blood. Tylenol will be ok.

I am a martial artist and a boxer and I have had my share of broken noses. First you can have a broken nose and not have it bleed, but it will swell up amd it will bruise. Now a good way o find out if it is broken... now bare with me, is to put your pinky fingers up the nasel passage and feel for any miss placement. This may hurt but it is the best way to find out on your own.\n  But you should go see a doctor because the is a chance that it could swell up more ad cut the air way through your nose.

Go and see a doctor. Immediately! I notice you say 'spit blood' as opposed to 'cough blood' or 'vomit blood'. Blood in the sputum can be serious and it is a symptom of many different disorders - from lung cancers to cystic fibrosis - or something more simple like a gum disease or a nosebleed - in any case it would need more information to say anything further. Go and see your doctor and tell him / her all your symptoms and various lifestyle factors and he/she will take a look and probably run a few tests. I don't want to alarm you, but please do book a doctor's appointment now. I hope everything turns up OK.
