Why nosebleeds are more dangerous for patients with high blood pressure or on blood thinners
Nosebleeds, or epistaxis, are common but can signal serious issues, especially for those with high blood pressure or on blood thinners. Minor trauma, dry air, and inflammation trigger bleeds. Hypertension stresses nasal vessels, increasing rupture risk. Blood thinners prolong bleeding. Seek medical help for persistent or heavy nosebleeds, dizziness, or paleness.
