Asked different doctors about, they said the cause is dry air, humidity, blood pressure etc... cure is put vaseline inside my nostrils to treated.
GREAT!!!!
Found out, my nose bleeds are associated with my high salt intake.
Processed foods are very high in salt, some times over 1000mg/serving.
Eating out fast foods and some ethnic foods are very high in salt.
Cutting the salt out reduced or completely stopped my bleeding.
Just my penny, if some one else has the problem.
Stay away from salt.

Vaseline may or may not work. Some Drs. have advised this but my ENT
advised Neosporin instead. One Dr. even advised olive oil. Another advised
a saline gel which only stung the insides of my nose severely and didn't
help one whit!

My problem and Angela's plus some other people we know is close to the
surface veins. When the air is dry or when our allergies are acting up, the
veins can crack and the bleeding will begin. And for some reason this
happens for my daughter and I quite frequently at night while we are
sleeping. Sometimes we awake to find that it had bled while we were
sleeping then when we get up, the retained blood comes gushing out.

Currently I think my problem is allergies. I am having trouble with the
right nostril and have had two little bleeds today. Had a whopper of one
the other day. I tend to get them so bad sometimes that it requires the use
of one or more tampons. The one the other day required one but I've had
them that were worse still and required up to 4 tampons. Not all at once of
course! One will get saturated quickly and I'll have to insert another.

I've heard that there are such things as nasal tampons but I've not seen
them for sale.

Both Angela and I have had to have our nose cauterized to stop the bleeding.
I have not had it done since I was a child. I remember having it done
twice. I can't remember how many times she had it done. Each time she
returned for a follow-up visit she had to have it done again.

Nasal tampons are for if nose bleed start way up in the nose, in the bony area.
Normal pinching won't stop bleeding.
It was done for me, few years ago in the emergency room.
Stay away from salt!

Actually my former Dr. told me to eat more salt to keep my BP up. I was
having really low BP. Not sure why she told me this because salt truly
doesn't seem to affect my BP.

The body needs salt! People who avoid it entirely can have problems. That
being said, I don't really eat a lot of it. I salt my pasta water. I put
salt on salad, French fries and popcorn. I use some salt in cooking and
baking. Not that I bake much because I don't. Nor do I eat a lot of French
fries. Maybe once every week or two or three. I do drink a lot of diet
soda and that's mainly where my sodium comes from. I occasionally eat
condensed canned soup. That's high in it too. Celery is high in natural
sodium and it's great for the joints. But the last time I ate very much of
it, it came right back up. So I haven't tried it since, except for small
amounts in cooked food.

I found that when I turned the heat off in my bedroom it stopped the
winter nosebleeds I used to get. Obviously the drying efect of havign the
rdiator going ws to blame. It meant some cold mornings when I woke up,
but ws worth it. I still keep the heat off in the bedroom here in New
York City, but s I no longer have children at home, I can leave the dorrs
open so some warmer air comes in but not enough to bring back the
nosebleeds.

A low platelet count can cause severe nosebleeds.

"Thrombocytopenia". My DIL got her PhD from research into this serious
condition in newborns and found a lead towards preventing it. It can cause
perinatal brain damage and death.
