(I am a female, fifteen years of age)Throughout this current winter, as well as last year’s, my nose has bled incessantly. They last from a minimum of ten minutes and maximum of forty. I am a slight hypochondriac, and not quite pleased with the sight of blood – therefore, the nosebleeds always become a rather dramatic event. Just when I was learning to calm down and manage them logically, I had my first public nosebleed. This was in the middle of a mall food court, and the bleeding was heavy… Not only was I frightened, but so embarrassed, which certainly didn’t help my blood pressure/flow!
In a matter of weeks, I will be flying cross-country. The juxtaposition of high altitudes, dry cabin air, and 'public exposure' frightens me immensely. Is there a way to prevent nosebleeds, whether they occur in-air or in the airport?
Thank you so much for your time. Have a magical 2012!

ReplyDeleteMzMick - A doctor may be able to cauterize the blood vessels and alleviate the problem.
