Nosebleeds

high blood pressure is a possibility.
or dont pick your nose with the fork again.

Maybe the lofty heights of 9th place in the fizzy pop league are the main cause.

never had 1 in my life and i have had some right wallops on the bugle in my time, yet my cousins bugle just catch it and a deluge would follow scary

not had one in about 15 years so id say its not right somehow. i used to get them when i played football and rugby, not actually whilst playing from getting whacked or anything i just mean in general. maybe theyre connected with physical activity.

how many a year would be deemed as un healthy

ive just had yet another one,, does this mean im f*cked ?



Symtoms of a coke addict (Nap) :(

I have not had one for ages and then again i dont pick my nose.

i dont pick my nose and wasnt

ive got bad cold problems and ble my nose, and it just started pouring

Gary, do they happen for no apparent reason?

sometimes if i blow my nose tommy

and yes sometimes absolutely out of no where for no reason

all the stress thats built up watching boro gaz

lol, yea could be the reason, it is that bad, especially that Killeen

whats happening up there after watching you lot at hillsbro early doors i thought you were a shoe in for a top flight return

Some rare diseases that may cause nosebleeds are Wegener's granulomatosisand hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia(HHT, Rendu-Osler-Weber disease); sarcoidosis, when it involves the nose, has been reported to cause nosebleeds. von Willebrand diseasemay cause nosebleeds.
Go to the Dr's.

I really don't want to worry you Gary, but I've had a lot of expeience of this in my time (not from a personal condition).

It may, or may not be, Hereditary haemmorhagic telangiectasia:

If I were you, I'd make an appointment at your GP's surgery and mention the condition to them, as many know nothing at all about it, but they could refer you to a specialist at your local hospital.

funnily enough after that game, its been a slow downhill spiral since then

as Gordon said in his interview yesterday, and it simply described our entire season

he said '' fact is, this team cant score ''

thats our problem, and especially at home, as i think were about the worst home team bar darlo in the country

spot on bobby,just what i was thinking. WTF

Bobby/Tommy

ive mentioned it previously at the Doctors in which i have never been told to do anything about it

but im certainly not in a good state in general, ive had a cold for going on 4 months which i know in life is un heard of, but anything i try at the doctors simply hasnt worked, not sure where to go with it

as the old heads used to say down my neck of the woods gary is , tha wonts to change thi butchers old lad

what on earth does that mean ?? :)

how common are they? managed to go my 27 years without 1.

get a good steak down you put a bit of body fat on

Gary, insist on another GP - or change surgeries/GPs.
It's an illness that few doctors (until very recently) know anything about.

My mother had it all of her life and a name for her condition was only given to her about 12 years ago (when she was 68).
GP's (in the main) have little knowledge of it and would probably never diagnose it, or even think about, it at a general appointment.

You need to see a specialist at a hospital.

probably on average 1 every couple of weeks

sometimes can have a few in a week, only on rare occasions

thanks tommy - ill have a read up about it, and look into it, play it safe

Gary, there are various degrees to it. From what you're saying, it's very true to the condition.

Don't be fobbed of by a doctor who has no or little idea what they're talking about regarding nosebleeds.

There is help and advice for the condition and The Hammersmith Hospital in London has a specialist clinic for it.

Good luck.

fobbed *off

thanks, i will be an appointment at the doctors, i need to keep trying to get this sh!t that has taken over me sorted anyway, and i will ask about it then, aswell as looking it up myself

FFS if I had one nose bleed a fortnight I'd go back to my Dr's. Say to him that you want him to take another look at me please, blood pressure etc. and check out the more obscure illness' and conditions.
Otherwise just putting up with your nosebleeding is crackers imo.

Btw hope you find a solution :)

Gary, you may well be anaemic and run down because of the nosebleeds.
If you pick up any bug, it will be much harder to shift, because of the anaemia.

you say that bobby, but its not like its made me ill or out, so you dont think about it that much, and sometimes i can go 2 months without one, and thanks :)

yeah possibly tommy, its very weird, basically i wake up during the night coughing up flem, and it constanly bulids up during the day, and never ever goes, its so frustrating, but when the docs keep trying things and the4y dont work, its hard not to give up

I've never had a nosebleed in my entire life.

I remember knowing Michael Scofield was going to die in Prison Break after his nose started bleeding.

RIP Gary :(

I've only had one, and that was nothing to speak of.

Unfortunately, my brother inherited the disease from our mother, although it was in a very reduced severity, thank goodness.

You really need to push it at your GPs, Gary - and don't be fobbed off, whether it is HHT or something else.

Nosebleeds can be bad if you live in scotland

ok i hear you Tommy, i can see its something you feel strongly about, abviously due to experience

i will look into it, and will mention it when i go to my GP's during the week, and ill push them if nessesary to make sure they can find out if it could be the case

Seriously though how long has it been going on for? I had a spell of about 2 months where I was having nose bleeds 2-3 times a week.

Apparantly it was a capillary problem, went away itself naturally.

just mainly over the last few years

Ah, longer term than for me then.

Yea, I don't really know much about them to be honest but better to be safe...

On any medication? Mine seemed to flare up when I was taking hayfever allergy tablets...

i get them too gary, quite often when i blow my nose when i've just woken up

bloody annoyin aint it

Gary, my mum couldn't remember her nose bleeding until she was about 11. It poured for evermore thereafter, although, like you, she could go through a 'good spell' for quite while when she was young.

It really got bad when she was about 30, but she was always able to manage it/put up with it for a long time.
It was only when she hit about 65 that it really started taking it's toll on her, but she was a VERY strong woman (mentally) and I doubt many others would have been able to put up with it.

For the last 10/11 years of her life she had to have 4 units (pints) of blood transfused every fortnight to keep her going (not counting all the extra ones she had to have when I had to rush her up to A&E because she was bleeding so much).

She was very ill and in hospital for 5 weeks in 2008 and for the first time, I met someone in the same ward she was on with the same condition.
That lady was (approx) 65 and had only been bleeding for the previous 5 years or so (although she'd had it all of her life).
As I said earlier, it's a condition with many variables.
