What You Need to Know about Nosebleeds (Epistaxis)

10. Frequent Nosebleeds, What do I do?

Usually, a nosebleed is just a tear in the vulnerable membranes in your nasal cavity, but if you're having nosebleeds all the time, then you'll need to see your doctor. There are certain medications like blood thinners and other common medications that can contribute to frequent episodes of nosebleeds. Your doctor can cauterize the sensitive blood vessel to stop the bleeding. Don't ignore consistent, frequent, or excessively heavy nosebleeds. While unlikely they may be an indicator of a more complex illness and will require a physician's attention.
