Most nosebleeds will stop on their own. However, if you start to feel light-headed, dizzy, or like you're going to faint, consult your doctor right immediately. There are a few medical conditions that lend themselves to heavy nosebleeds like hemophilia, high blood pressure, or taking blood thinners. These medications and conditions don't cause nosebleeds on there own but can complicate a nosebleed. If you believe you're having a heavy nosebleed and are being treated with these medicines or for these conditions consult your general practitioner as soon as possible.
