I've always been prone to nosebleeds since I was a little kid, I've NEVER tilted my head back because I would taste the blood, so I automatically tilted forward to stop it, I never understood why people did that, it's so bizarre to me
Everyone always told me to tilt my head back. So much bloody vomit.
I have severe allergy and often sneeze so violently a few times in the row my nose bleeds, so i can tell you - you can get used to drinking your own blood. Gross, but i can cope. I prefer to tilt back, because cleaning out blood gets very annoying, also blood can dry up and clot out your nose, so you get blood boogers and they are even groser than usuall ones.
Well, i grew up with abusive parents who would get very angry if i got blood on anything, so that's the main reason. Now that i think about it, it's crazy how they blamed me even if my nose bled when i was sleeping and couldn't possibly prevent the blood from getting onto the pillow. Needless to say, my allergy was not treated and was in fact denied and somehow blamed on me at the same time.
Also disgusting. Mama says because she doesn’t want to clean it up.
Same
I get nose bleeds sometimes, but its like really really far back, sometimes I can feel like the holes that my nose use in the back of my throat.
My bleeds occur that far back so it runs down my throat, sometimes I can taste my own blood, so I dont have a choice. Never made me sick though, but my throat feels like its on fire sometimes, and burns, and hurts, water sometimes help.
Learned this when I became an EMT and never understood how the "myth" of leaning back was spread to basically every family. Hell even medical professional lean back head during bleeds.
I am guessing people noticed the blood doesn't leak out so thought that was helpful.
I wonder if it's instinctual in the sense they don't won't to leak nasty nose blood everywhere lol I think that would be my first reaction tbh
I think it's more of the idea that blood leak out less due to gravity (?) Lol
Yeah, I’m in the camp that thinks they tilted back to keep it from leaking everywhere, that stuff is hard to get out of fabric. Tho not seeing the flow probably convinced early humans that the flow was reduced. May be a little bit of both.
Its less myth more or "i dont want to get blood to my clothes or anywhere else" i think
Had surgery in my nose to remove a cyst. A bit into recovery I started getting nose bleeds. No big deal at first, but then they got more frequent and lasted longer. My mom kept ignoring me mentioning that it was probably best to see the medic since at that point they lasted 15 minutes or more, instead she blamed me for not tilting my head back and for getting up to spit the blood that would start to go back to the throat. One day I got a bleed that lasted about 2 hours, obviously I spat a lot of blood but even then swallowed a lot too since some would coagulate in the nose before coming loose and going down the throat (only managed to direct one such clot to my mouth to spit out). My dad was the one that yielded on taking me to the medic the next day.
Surprise surprise! Surgery in the nose can dry it out and cause nosebleeds. The medic cauterized the most troublesome spot(s), mentioning that they were in fact bleeding significantly. He informed my dad I was doing the right thing by not tilting back and spitting out what I could that did make it to the throat/mouth. I was given treatment to help with the dryness and informed to keep an eye for bleeds that lasted more than 15 minutes.... my mom apologized after my dad filled her in..... and yes, I was pretty damn nauseous that day thanks to the large amount of blood I managed to swallow the day before (it was still quite red when it exited out the other end).
It’s NOT normal for you to bleed that long and “dryness” after surgery is a very superficial response. You might want to see a hematologist so they can check for a bleeding disorder.
@@lindag277 Relax, that was years ago. After I started the treatment for dryness it settled pretty much immediately. While the medic (same surgeon that treated me) did cauterize a tiny spot that upon inspection seemed to display profuse bleeding, the very occasional nosebleeds before (or after) that situation hardly even last a minute.
I’m dealing with a partially healed nosebleed right now-it’s always the scabbing buildup that makes my nose incredibly sore. However, I use this cute little Zarabee’s baby nose mister, it’s got saline and aloe to help with the irritation.
i had a nosebleed that lasted 4 hours. be grateful.
@@OMGGaya definitely grateful, the two hours alone were annoying and uncomfortable enough.
Thank you for sharing this. My niece gets nose bleeds and she panics everytime. Now we know what to do to help her. Very much appreciated. Enjoy your videos! Much love from Michigan!
Read my long comment for a useful addition to your first aid
@@I.m-Me where tf is that to begin with?
@@Ghostman223 It should be a little after yours in the main section of the comments
I’m from michigan too!
My mom was told by an ent to also blow your nose, we’ve done it since and seems to work.
I used to get lots of nosebleeds when I was little, and sometimes they would last for 10+ minutes. I would tilt my head back even as my parents told me to tilt it forward, because I didn't want more blood to get out. Then I'd start to panic when it didn't stop fast enough and toss my head around, naturally making it worse. I never ended up in the ER though, because eventually my parents would get me to still and lean my head forward. A formative memory in my life is the first time I dealt with a nosebleed without my parents' help. It was one of the first times I dealt with something scary all on my own.
Wow. Your childhood must have been trauma-free. Good for you.
@@StandAloneSoul Not really, I just couldn't deal with most of it on my own lol.
The part where he really went back to the guy to trade shoes 🤣
This was my childhood. The kicker, the CAUSE of my nosebleeds was the stress that my mother was causing me, so, the more that she instructed me on how to stop them, the worse they got. She had a bag of rags for me to bleed into. The only time that someone successfully stopped one when I was a child was when I got one on a ferry and a passing nurse insisted that 1) my mother immediately LEAVE the room, and 2) made me lean forward and hold my nose. Stopped practically immediately. They stopped completely a month after I left home. The day that I returned home, I had a 6 hour nosebleed.
I probably would have sent you to the ER at 4 hours. I used to get daily 30-minute nose bleeds daily ( I have no clue why they just stopped one day)
My nephew is a Hemophilia sufferer so, nose bleeds land him in the ED to get it cauterized. Poor man.
Thanks for the tips though.
Our family also puts a small folded piece of brown paper bag in between the gum an inside upper lip, nice and firm, to use as a pressure to help the bleeding stop. It actually works. Some old school home remedies do!👍💖😘👏👏
Gauze or paper towel also works well. You need enough pressure to slow the blood to your nose. It's like magic
😮 for real?! 😮
Wait he still gets bleeds after cauterization? I dont think I’d go back after the first one if they kept happening… at that point I just deal with it.
@@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist no, the nose bleeds are always separate occurrences. But, whenever it happens, it has to get cauterized because of his condition.
He's in his 30s now so, it's not as often as his teens/early 20s.
@@chriseverhart6993 yes, they work too. I think the piece of paper bag is just another pressure point.
I had a lot of nosebleeds as a kid with seasonal allergies, always tilted my head forward after making that mistake of tilting back. I could feel the blood dripping down my throat. Had to teach a bus monitor later in school life since she was telling a kid tilt back, almost completely disregarded me until I said, "do you want a kid with a nosebleed, or a kid bleeding and puking at the same time?" She followed suit after 🤣
My nose bleeds all the time so this should help
Read my long comment.
@卐-Lakehuntist-卐 you make the videos of every 25 year old guy targeting at a kid audience. I don't even think there yours and where in my comment does it say anything about giving a shit, and or asking for your opinion on something i was stating a obvious fact with the tone of thanks not asking you to lie to people. good day to thou.
perfect timing, my nose was just bleeding 😂
Lmaoooo same
Instructions unclear. Became a vampire
Broke my nose several times as a teenager, and it never healed right. Sometimes the little loose piece will slip right, and all it takes is a sneeze or a good laugh. Learned "tilt forward" before I reached 18.
I am quite prone to nosebleeds, so I’ve gotten pretty good at stopping them, but I’ve heard all the misinformation from family, friends, and even school nurses when I was younger. Tilting your head back is a common one, but people also tell you to pinch at the very top of your nose which does nothing to stop a nosebleed. Now-a days, I keep a go-kit in my backpack with tissues, Afrin, and a garbage bag, which has saved me on airplanes, while driving, while biking, and even during a final exam.
I was once in the icu, and got a nose bleed. I figured it was fine, I was pregnant too so more prone to them. So I figured I would just call for help getting clean once it stopped. But my nurse came walking in mid nose bleed, and she screamed over the blood and it was the hilarity that I desperately needed.
I absolutely LOVE your channel!! Fresh, fun and FOR REAL. Dude. For REAL.
This is one of my favourite ones you’ve done. I was in the ER for a raging kidney infection and elevated liver enzymes and they gave me a decoagulant (because of the liver stuff). Nose was already dry so I had a big nose bleed pretty soon. I was given a clip for my nose and the identical twin of someone I worked with little bit chastised me for not holding it tight enough. It ended up stopping, of course and she found me a seat where they give people IVs but in a comfy chair instead of putting me back in the waiting room. I hated being in the hospital (of course) but she made it a whole much better than it could have been (I have chronic pain and the waiting room chairs give me huge pain)
why do you feel compelled to put your personal information all over the place? it baffles me
I was taking naproxen and it caused bloody nose. Bled for 2 hours, went to the ER, wonderful doctor explained the situation and put tiny tampons in my nose. He also gave some nose plugger clips and told me to STOP tilting my head back because my dad was mistaken in advising that. I'd been doing that since childhood so it was strange to realize it was wrong the entire time. All of that helped, but I did have to stop taking the medication.
When I would get nosebleeds my mother would tell me “If you panic it’ll bleed more” so I would be super calm so I wouldn’t lose more blood-
And then one time I had a nosebleed and a girl scout leader was like “How are you so calm??”
..i was 8
The worst nosebleed I ever had was driving home one night in a very cold Chicago winter. I rubbed my nose and felt fluid running down my face. Since it was dark and I was wearing a heavy coat and gloves, I figured it was just a runny nose and didn’t give it a second thought. When I got home I went to the bathroom to get a tissue and in the mirror I saw that my coat and gloves were covered in the blood gushing out my nose. Thankfully I didn’t run into anyone from my condo,and no one noticed the drips of blood in the snow leading back to my car or I might have been a suspect in a murder investigation.
And yes, I did remember to tilt my head forward.
I've had nosebleeds ranging from really bad to a couple drops for as long as I can remember. They're at their worst during the summer. The advice from the one time my mother took me to the hospital, after having two hour long ones within a couple hours of each other, was to pinch my nose, lean forward, and wait 45 minutes. If the bleeding has stopped leave the clot for 10-20 minutes then blow it out. If after 45 minutes I'm still bleeding it's time to go to the emergency room again. Luckily it never came to that. I still follow this advice and still actively have to tell people, no the doctor said don't tilt your head back. I ignore most nosebleed advice these days. The only bit I really have taken to heart was also implementing a cool pack to force the blood vessels to restrict.
Believe it or not...tampons are very helpful during a nosebleed. Just take the cotton part and put it in your nose and leave it there until it stops. They are very absorbent and you have your hands free to keep doing whatever you were doing. You might look silly, but at least you're not bleeding everywhere.
Yes, someone said it!!
fill nose with clenex also works
My mom told me to tilt my head back!🤦🏻♀️😂
I felt weird in nursing school learning this because my mom told me the same thing.
Yeah, I was always told to lay on your back and pinch it closed. It stopped it but now I can see why that's a terrible idea.
I had severe nosebleeds as a kid very often, causing me to regularly seek medical attention. One day the doctor just burned my nostril to make it stop, and it worked. The frequency of nosebleeds went down like 90% and now as an adult I have a nosebleed maybe twice a year. The burning procedure really helps, it makes the capillaries that tend to break and cause the nosebleed to shrivel up and get scar tissue over them.
I got nosebleeds almost every week since I was little. It's not as common now, but it still happens. It doesn't even bother me now, I use one hand to hold a tissue and pinch my nose and my other hand to continue doing work
I absolutely LOVE these skits
I work as an Interventional Radiology nurse and I never knew how bad nose bleeds could get until I worked my first one with our neuro interventionalists. It’s cool how far we’ve progressed. Literally now you can feed a wire through arteries and vessels, get to the bleed and coil it. Usually a last resort if ballooning or cauterizing doesn’t work.
"your stomache is gonna disagreeing"
you ain't telling me i can't be a vampire, do you?
Glad to see Austin wise ing up lol
When I was a kid I suffered from random nosebleeds. I didn't even notice it, most of the time I thought it was my nose being runny, I'd wipe it with my hand and it would come away full of blood.
When my nose bled, it bled A LOT! More than a few times I'd come home from school with a bloodied up shirt. My mom never freaked out that I'd been in fight or anything, she knew it was just another nose bleed day.
When a nose bleed would happen at school, my teacher would send me down to the school nurse. The nurse showed me how to pinch it (and lean forward) until it stopped. My teacher still sent me there every time I got one and the nurse would tell me every time that I knew how to stop it, I didn't need to come there. I told this to my teacher but he still made me go. It was some years later I realized that of course he made me go, even if I knew what to do to stop it, there's 30 kids in the class, are they going to pay attention to the teacher showing us how to multiply fractions or watch the one kid with a river of blood coming out of his nose?
Eventually my mom took me to an ENT doctor. He did the burn thing. Cauterized the membrane. Was a fifteen minute appointment, 1 time...I never had a nose bleed again.
As an EMT I love your videos
Can confirm I am into it, and can also confirm my stomach is okay with it
Vampire!
@@jmissesblac2006 I will get the holy water.
I got nosebleeds like once a week from picking it when I was a kid lol
I was always told to tilt my head back so that's what I did. One day I decided I was tired of being nauseous all day from swallowing it so I decided to spit it out instead. Well, my friend walked into the bathroom and saw me doing that, so she freaked out and ran back to the classroom all like, teacher, Andy's spitting up blood! She's dying! Aaaah! She riled up the whole class and I got sent home 😎 true friend right there
please tell me your still friends because that's the coolest thing a friend could do in elementary
So a couple years ago, I started suffering from high BP and I had no idea. My nose would randomly start bleeding. One day I got it to stop but it would start up again, back and forth for a little while until we decided enough was enough and we went to immediate care. They decided to cauterize my nostril. It hurt like a son of a beep but I thought I handled it well. Until suddenly my words started slurring and my husband said all the color drained from my face, my eyes rolled back in my head. Turns out, my body did NOT like the pain AT ALL and decided to send me into shock.
I feel this patient to the depths of my soul 😂
I had so many nosebleeds when I lived in SoCal. My mother always said to lean forward because the Bible says don't drink blood and that includes the stuff coming out your nose. Whatever, I'm just glad she got the head tilt thing right.
Pff nice
@Renni Praise the Lord, haha!!!
The Jewish interpretation of that prohibition is that only blood that "separated" from the body is prohibited. So for example if you bit your cheek that's ok
Thank you for sharing this. I had always been told to tell others with nosebleeds to tilt their head back. Now, I know better. 👍
I've been prone to nosebleeds since forever, but my mom told me tilt back so, back it was, never throwed up tough, never even knew people would throw up because of it. Then, when I was an adult, in a psychobiology class in college, the teacher told us to tilt forward so, forward I went but, they were very heavy nosebleeds so pinching AND paper on the nose it was, and it stayed there for hours because it would be stuck to the walls 🤣 we had to water it down to have it removed and, yes, the clog coming out is absolutely glorious, sorry
Yes!
During peak spring and fall I get maybe 20+ nosebleeds a week because of the weather and ive always just said screw it and kept my head down over a trash can. Ill pinch as much as i can, but its gonna bleed as much as it wants to bleed. I guarantee ive lost more blood in other nosebleeds.
0.0 Please see my other comment. If you have a health concern, perhaps check with an herbalist before trying it, but sage leaves work for me.
I just shove a whole roll of toilet paper into my nose and go on with my day
@@1Hawkears1**shrug** I've had sage work when no amount of pressure or paper towels were working
PSA: Easiest way to immediately stop a bloody nose. I took a local plants herbalism class and got a scary-bad, gushing bloody nose the next morning. Desperate, I remembered the teacher saying that the sage we'd picked stops bleeding. I stuck a leaf in my mouth thinking I'd chew it up and shove the spit poultice up my nose, but the the bleeding stopped instantaneously the moment I put it in my mouth.
We took home black sage, but mountain sage or white sage would do the same thing. I don't think you'll get the same effect with sage from the spice aisle. Also, it has other effects, like drying up breast milk, so you should learn about things before you use them.
Yes. Tilt forward. I had a boyfriend that actually ended up dying because of the nosebleed he had and didn't listen to me to tilt his head forward on the way to the ER. He threw up and it tore a hole in his throat. He bled out and downed in his own blood over night. Aug. 8th was actually the anniversary of his death. He was joking the night before about dying from a noise bleed... 2008 was the year he passed and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. At least I know I informed him correctly, he made his decisions on his own.
Yup growing up in the 70's in Australia..head back was the go 😳
5 years of blood thinners an dry weather mixed with high INR has cemented the forward brace position. 👍😁
Oh having a bleeder chemically burned shut hurts. Whether it is in the nose or throat. And my stomach hates blood in it to the nth degree. I will vomit without stopping for a long time if even the tiniest amount gets in my tummy. Had a complication with an adult tonsillectomy that taught me how much my stomach hates blood. I cannot see how people can drink or eat it.
Your teeth look amazing, Steve!
I got nosebleeds every day most of my childhood. I hated all the grown-ups giving me conflicting advice. The only thing that worked was time to clot and lots of tissues. Cauterization worked for 2 weeks max. I finally had an operation at 17 to build up the cartilage, and almost never have had a nosebleed since.
I was taught to lean forward but also to pinch the nose higher- where the cartilage is so that the blood vessels can be pressed up against the cartilage. Not sure if it matters where the nose is pinched. I've never had a nosebleed.
Iv got a tip too, take a paper towel, roll it up into a round cone shape small enough to fit in your nose, wet it, squeeze out the excess water, and stick it up the bleeding nostril in a swirling motion, make sure there’s enough towel so you can grab it, and leave it in the for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how long it takes for the blood too stop.
I used to get nosebleeds a lot as a kid. Was told by doctors to pinch the bridge of my nose and tilt my head back, but did nothing. Eventually worked out if I blocked the nostril with some tissue I could wait for it to fill with blood. The blood would clot, stopping the bleeding and then I could suck or blow the clot out. Fun times just hocking a big ball of congealed blood to freak people out :p
My dad was a miner at the Cordero mine...mercury. He got mercury poisoning. He almost bled to death with his nose bleed. Filled the toilet, then the sink, then four inches of a 5 gallon bucket on the way to the hospital - 74 miles away. Thank you Sheriff Lossee for saving his life.
Only when wearing new shoes, it never disappoints
i used to get tons of nosebleeds due to the hot weather in the summer. i had a really bad one riding my bike back from work one day, it lasted the whole ride home and it was dripping like mad. stuffed a tissue up there and when i got home i put an ice pack on my neck as well as closing it and leaning forward. 2 minutes later it stopped. to this day i still hate the heat as it makes me sick and my nose bleeds easily due to it.
Oh! Well! Now you just reminded me of Beavis and butt-head in Nose Bleed 🤣
i have nosebleeds quite often, for me what works everytime:
1) put tissue in bleeding nose
2) forget about it
3) (after some hours) remove bloody tissue from nose
Austin never fails to make me laugh😂
I love you!!! You made me laugh out loud and I really needed that today. :)
“You’re gonna get blood on my new shoes”. Oof.
Is it weird that I've always hated it when I've seen people tilting their heads back with nosebleeds? 😂 😂 😂
I learned this off a cartoon show when I was a kid. Knowing is half the battle.
Had my worst nose bleed my senior year of high school. Always got them growing up and would just pop a tampon in knowing that it would stop within 10 minutes or so. This one i bled through 2 tampons with no signs of slowing down. 50ish minutes later I decided it was bad enough to go to the ED for. Got there, they burned it and it stopped it enough for that night. Horrible smell but it was worth it to stop bleeding
To help stop a nosebleed if it is severe, while you have your head tilted forward and you are pinching your nose, you could put something frozen on your nose to stop the bleeding. The cold will constrict the blood vessels and will make the bleeding stop quicker. You can use an ice cube in a tissue, some frozen veggies in a bag, a packaged popsicle, etc. You may not need to do this for more than a minute or a few minutes for this to work.
“I’m feeling nauseous” “But parent said so!” That’s why
So I've had trouble with nosebleeds my whole life. I've had it cautarized twice, once chemically and the second with the old-school hot rod. Didn't cure it either time. Upon further examination, the doctor says I got a bunch of little guys right on the surface that crack anytime it gets dry. Even moisturizer only goes so far, and I have horrible, hours-long nosebleeds during summer or dry winters.
Biology can SUCK sometimes.
When it's summer and we are in air-condition the whole day my family's noses get dry too so we resorted to putting oil up our noses (dip our finger or a q tip in oil and gently put it in our noses everyday or twice a day even). I find oil really helps
I’m laughing so hard right now!
My best recommendation is to put some paper tissue or a piece from a cotton ball under your tongue. The body tires to get rid off it via salvia. And for the production of this extra salvia blood from the surrounding area us needed including you nose.
It's a very common technique used ar sports. At least here in Germany.
I'm not 100% confident about the explaining, but it works. 😁
A cold pack on the back of the neck can sometimes help slow/stop a nose bleed. My maternal grandfather (a doctor) taught my mother that trick and she passed it on to me. My grandfather couldn't tell her why it worked, but it does help (at least in my experience).
That´s what I learned too in my first aid class. I always helped so far.
My son's ADHD meds cause really bad nosebleeds. We didn't realize it was the meds so we ended up seeing his pediatrician, days off from school, CPS -getting a call from an effing doctor that felt it must be some kind of abuse, then his psychiatrist, then an ENT, then a neurologist, then a geneticist, then.......... another mom in a support group told me her son got bad nosebleeds from his meds.... I mentioned this to the psychiatrist (after almost a full year of visiting these dr.s over and over and tests and exams and blood work and MONEY and STRESSSSSSSSSS) he agreed and we took him off the meds and no more nosebleeds...
My son and I are unmedicated. We can get a bit squirrely and we got on each others nerve from time to time, but the side effects were not worth it for us. I have ADHD and Autism too. (he's 21 and I'm 52)
“More blood on you than a used maxi mad” 💀💀💀NOW HE DIDN’T
The old notion of tilting back was the way I originally did it, but nowadays I tilt forward.
Ice on the bridge of the nose can work too. Shuts down the small blood vessels. I keep surgical gloves with a bit of water in the freezer, palm on the forehead and one finger on outside of each nostril. Inverted V
everyone knows you got to stand on your head for 30 minutes
You are hilarious 🤣 love your videos!
You can plug your nostrils with rolled up tissue or paper towel and if you go through two for a nostril then pinch it for a few min. I figure you’d want to soak up some of the excess so it doesn’t pool up and make you choke on it.
Had to get both nostrils cauterized as a kid because I had frequent massive nosebleeds! you can also put a bag of ice on the back of your neck- it helps the blood vessels to constrict and the bleeding to slow!
Went to urgent care exactly once for a nosebleed that wouldn’t stop. The minute I walked in the door the blood magically stopped flowing 😂 had another big one my first day of high school- that was a great time!
This explains
So much-
learnt this is first aid many moons ago - also advisable to have a container to collect blood so *IF* it becomes a situation that needs medication assistance professionals (like Steve) can assess how much blood loss has occurred (main issue with nose bleeds - blood loss)
Worked as a pre-k TA for years. Didn't know until the first year (and many visits to the nurses office for a child with frequent nosebleeds) that you're supposed to tilt the head forward. Spent years trying to teach all my kids to tilt their heads forward, breathe through their mouth and helping them not freak out at the blood. (there were many days the nurse was very busy and overworked..) The ones with frequent nosebleeds over the years became almost stoic about it in the process. ^_^"
My son is prone to nose bleeds. Some lasting more than 15min at a time. Always had him leaning forward pinching his nose. We have also used affrin to help with constricting the blood vessels in his nose during the longer nose bleeds. A few of them we had to take trips to the ED as they were lasting too long and he was bleeding too much. To date he has had two nasal ablations to deal with veins that were too close to the surface and were the cause of his nose bleeds. It can be scary but staying as clam as possible is key especially for younger kids as they will pick up on that vibe from you as the parent and learn what to do.
Also, don't forget to pinch the nose vein really hard aswell!! If it's really bad, put ice on the back of your neck. My mom's a nurse who was so sickly as a child that she was frequently getting her nose caulderized. She even freaked out the ER nurse because she started crying blood after plugging her nose for so long 😅 my whole family gets spontaneous nosebleeds, but nothing like what my mom had to go through
I remember being told to lean forward, plug your nose and place a cold pack on the back of your neck. Seemed to work for me.
Very much appreciated and 💕 your videos ❤
Austin - immediately suspicious. ^_^ Good on him, he's learning.
Not that you need my input, but as 22M whose had consistent nose bleeds due to dry nose for his whole entire life, can confirm the advise. But I would like to add that if you can't hold your nose long enough (I've had a few that have lasted an hour and got light headed) you can buy nose clamps for this specific purpose at the dollar store (at least the dollar stores near me in Canada).
You can also shove a tampon up your nose and just leave it there to soak up the blood. They're super absorbent (I mean, look at what they're made for lol) so it should last long enough for the bleeding to stop. And if you bleed through a whole tampon and it still hasn't stopped, that's probably a good sign to go to the ER 😅
I was a group leader at my church’s vbs and one of the kids I had had a nosebleed so I took her to the nearest restroom got some tissue and had her plug her nose and I had watched a video somewhere saying to pinch the nose and lean your head forward so that’s what I had her do and I stayed with her until the EMT we had on staff came and took over
You can also choke on your blood if you lean back. Also I’m pretty sure you don’t punch the nostrils but rather you pinch the bridge of your nose between your eyes and nostrils.
My nose is burnt shut because I kept getting nose bleeds everyday for 2 weeks back in 2017
Love the old "Tips From the Ear: Nosebleeds" video afterwards!!!!
We taught this to our girl scout troop and they were amazed because they all thought they should tilt their heads back. Good to know!
This is a little weird but when i was a kid, i always get nosebleeds that ive learned how to stop them immediately, what i would do is tilt my head back, and just keep on swallowing until i feel like a mass of goo is pulled from my nose down my throat and then voila,it stopped the bleeding. Nasty, but was always handy when i had no hankies.
same lmao but we were in the wrong apparently
My friend said not to tilt it back cuz it’ll go in your brain 💀
I used to tip mine forward and used ice to stop the bleeding. Worked really well. xoxo
I had chronic nosebleeds when I was a kid. Grew out of it, thank the cozmic muffin. I would soak a bath towel or two each time. Pinching my nose didn't help. Had to go to an ENT, he had to cauterize a vein. Only needed a transfusion once. My cousin had them, too. He had a sinus tumor, though.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU because I always get hurt on my nose
When my mom had a nose bleed that wouldn’t stop after a really nasty fall they packed it with gauze and kept her for like a week. She had cancer and needed a transfusion.
Basically, she tripped on the edge of a small stage and landed on her nose. They tried to stop it for an hour then called an ambulance who tried to stop it for a while before bringing her up and they tried and ran out of towels and cloths because she just wouldn’t stop bleeding. I walked in there and it looked like a murder scene.
It was a bad day overall… I almost fit in as I worked home care that day and my client’s skin ripped while trying to help her put her shirt on. While I was trying to patch her up I got blood all over my shirt so I had to go home because I was worried about going into the ER with blood on my scrub shirt. I was already getting mistaken as a nurse without looking like I’d just dealt with a bleeding patient. So I had a bit of a panic attack in between work and getting home because I was so worried about my mom and just wanted to see her.
We need the origin of the back tilt to go with this information.
All 3 of my siblings have von Willebran’s, so yeah. We quickly learned how to do this right. 😂
You crack me up. Hahahaha
I got a lot of nose bleeds after I got my tonsils removed as a kid. I just had to blow my nose to hard, sneeze or fall and it would start to bleed.
My mother told me the same thing "tilt your head back and put a wet cloth on your neck" and I would throw up from all the blood I swallowed, which made my nose start bleeding all over again (if it even had stopped at this point).
After I got my second child, who also tends to get nose bleeds easily, I learned how to properly treat nose bleeds and it's really different from what I learned as a child, but also way more effective!
I've been told Years ago to tilt my head back. Someone told me, "My mom is a nurse, so she knows. You should always tilt your head back."
Stupid. I never listened to that, for the exact reasons why Stevie said.
I tilt forward, but use my other hand to insert a Kleenex in my pinching hand to catch any blood that escapes.
I once had daily nosebleeds for three months. Since I got it cauterized, no issues! And it was totally painless. So glad I got that done.
I used to be threatened with cauterization probably weekly. Fun fact: I stopped getting regular nosebleeds when I went through puberty.
