Why do I get nose bleeds at this time of the year when I’m exercising hard?

Was on for a cracking commute time last night, averaging >23 mph… perservered sniffing and spitting out blood for about 8 miles and then felt pretty dizzy.

What’s going on… any clues?

Infection resulting in inflammation.

high blood pressure.

I was wondering if it could be hayfever related… irritated by pollun or something as it was almost exactly this time last year I was getting them?

Blood pressure is low if anything.

bad aids

Barometric pressure ?

I get nosebleeds when there is a warm dry wind. Rare in Scotland, but got sent home from a few summer holidays in Christchurch as a kid due to persistent nosebleeds.

nose bleeds and dizzyness = high bp, ask you doctor.

Bloody nose bleeds

I see what you did there.

Ton – My BP is alright. Dizziness was more to do with exercise and struggling with breathing.

I just hope it’s not cat aids.

tsy, are you sure? 😉

If it’s a common thing you should be able to get some nose drops prescribed for it I think, which should help.

Go and see GP, get referred to ENT casualty clinic, get nose welded shut. End of problem.

A number of reasons why you get them more at this time of year, on top of all the other reasons for nose bleeds.

Pollen – irritant, leading to inflammation of nasal mucosa
Hot – blood vessels in nose dilate to help get rid of heat as you breath out therefore bigger and more likely to bleed
Bad Aids – more prevalent in summer
