As you become more aware of your spiritual self, the nosebleed will stop. It is one of those conditions where aspects like symptoms and diagnosis are pretty much straightforward as if you have a bleeding nose, it is quite self-evident. It sounds like you are vulnerable right now and open to attack from the dark forces of the universe. Nosebleeds can be as a result of a number of reasons, some more serious than others, although the most common causes of nosebleeds are due to dryness as well as nose picking. 4,5 While the cause of nose bleeds in adults is likely to be multifactorial, the importance of high alcohol consumption should not be overlooked, and a detailed alcohol history should always be obtained. The nosebleed is probably due to some spiritual unconsciousness. Regular alcohol consumption reduces platelet aggregation and prolongs the bleeding time these effects, coupled with haemodynamic changes such as vasodilatation and changes in blood pressure, may be important in causing some cases of arterial nose bleeds in adults. 3 Our finding that alcohol is an important causal factor in nose bleeds is supported by the growing evidence of the cardiovascular ad cardiorespiratory effects of alcohol.
2 Although self report of drinking habits may under-report alcohol consumption, any inaccuracy is likely to be found both in the patients with nose bleeds and in the controls.Īrterial nose bleeds in adults are serious and potentially life threatening whose cause is undertermined in 85% of cases. The method for recording alcohol history was similar to that used in a survey of Scottish drinking habits. This study confirms an association in adults between regular, high alcohol consumption and nose bleeds. The patients with nose bleeds drank more alcohol than the controls (33 (mean) units a week v 7).
The proportion of non- drinkers in the patients with nose bleeds was similar to that in the controls (34% (47/140) v 35% (39/113)), but the proportion of regular drinkers was significantly higher (45% (63/140) v 30 (34/113) P<0.025, X 2 test of proportions). The table shows results of the questionnaire.

2 Also we recorded whether the patients had drunk alcohol within 24 hours of admission. Many guidelines advise people to receive professional care for a nosebleed that: is heavy. We estimated units of alcohol drunk each week for occasional and regular drinkers by using their self reports of an average week in which they drank alcohol one unit was regarded as one measure of spirits, one glass of wine, or one half pint (284 ml) of beer. We defined them as non-drinkers if they never drank alcohol occasional drinkers if they drank alcohol less than once a week and regular drinkers if they drank alcohol more than once a week. Patients whose nose bleeds were secondary to a known cause such as trauma, anticoagulant treatment, or blood dyscrasia were excluded.Īll patients were interviewed by an admitting doctor within 24 hours of admission, and a questionnaire was used to record a history of alcohol consumption for each patient.
The alcohol habits of 140 consecutive patients admitted with nose bleeds (79 men mean age 54.5 years, range 23-93) were compared with those of 113 age and sex matched controls selected from patients being treated for otorhinolaryngological conditions other than nose bleeds (65 men 56.4, 21-92).
