Epistaxis or Nose Bleeding

Updated: Nov 7, 2023


Epistaxis or Nose Bleeding

Epistaxis or nose bleeding is a common complaint and it is rarely life-threatening. Most nosebleeds are benign, self-limiting and spontaneous. A nosebleed occurs when the membranes lining the inner nose are disturbed or irritated enough to cause abnormal bleeding. The most common causes of nosebleed are a breakdown in the membranes lining the nose. Pricking or rubbing the nose can also cause a nosebleed or epistaxis. Other factors leading to epistaxis may include inflamed nasal membrane due to allergies or an infection, injury to the face or nose, re-bleeding from an area of a previous nosebleed, high altitude, drug abuse, high blood pressure etc. Epistaxis or nose bleeding has been reported to occur in upto 60% of the general population. The incidence peaks at ages younger than 10 years and older than 50 years. Epistaxis also appears to occur more often in males than in females.

Bleeding from inside the nose is a common complaint presenting an emergency. Epistaxis is often a frightening sight, if the patient is a kid. Epistaxis can occur due to hypertension, as commonly seen in old age. Other factors responsible for epistaxis may include some heart diseases, pregnancy, bleeding disorders and acute general infections like typhoid, pneumonia, malaria, dengue fever, measles etc.

In epistaxis, bleeding usually occurs from only one nostril. If the bleeding is heavy, the blood can fill up the affected nostril and overflow into the nasopharynx. Blood can also drip into the back of the throat or down into the stomach. The affected person has to spit up or even vomit blood.

Signs and symptoms of epistaxis or nose bleeding may include dizziness, weakness, confusion and fainting. Other symptoms include excessive blood loss from nosebleeds and additional bleeding from other parts of the body such as in the urine or bowels, may indicate an inability of the blood to clot. Most nosebleeds occur during the winter in cold or dry climates.

If a person is prone to epistaxis, he or she may use a humidifier at home. Petroleum jelly or a saline nasal spray also helps to keep nasal passages moist. Nose pricking should be avoided. If epistaxis is related to another medical condition, such as liver disease or a chronic sinus condition, doctor should be consulted. Smoking should be stopped as it contributes to nasal dryness and irritation. Allopathic medicines are also beneficial, but these lead to various side-effects. According to Ayurveda, there are numerous herbs for the treatment of epistaxis. The herbal remedies help to bring an end to nose bleeding. Epistaxis or nosebleeds can range from minor bleeds with a few drops to major hemorrhages. Many people are prone to nosebleeds and others have occasional nosebleeds.

According to Ayurveda, high blood pressure involves all the doshas, the heart and the blood vessels. Symptoms of derangement of vata dosha, mainly that of 'vyana vayu' are observed in high blood pressure. The treatment is to correct the balance of vata dosha. Pitta visiation is also seen and should be treated.

People with vata and pitta imbalance, are more prone to hypertension than any other. Unprocessed anger, frustration, irritability, anxiety and fear leads to hypertension. Arjuna can help lower hypertension and used as a natural remedy for nose bleeding.
