Nosebleeds (epistaxis) happen to about 60% of people, but if you’re reaching for tissues multiple times a month, it might be time to take a closer look! 🤧
🔍 Common Triggers:
🧊 Dry indoor air & winter weather
🤏 Nose-picking or frequent blowing
🤧 Allergies & sinus inflammation
💊 Medications (like blood thinners)
🩺 Quick First-Aid Tip: Sit upright, lean slightly forward, and pinch the soft part of your nose for 10–15 minutes! Avoid leaning back to prevent blood from flowing down your throat. 👍
🚨 When to see a doctor: Bleeding lasts over 20 mins, happens >1x a week, or comes with dizziness.
