Tumor in Nose??? Lots of blood!

[Phillies Phan]

Nasal cancer is very rare and affects older men, generally those with a long occupational history of breathing in certain chemicals and by-products (I shouldn’t know that..I just shouldn’t) I agree with the other responses..Zyrtec combined with cool and dry indoor environment is causing this. Take a breath, relax and think logically, something we with HA frequently fail to do.

I guess I’m not like others who are like ‘Oh blood coming out of my nose that I’ve never seen before? Totes normal’ I’m not trying to poke fun but like I think this is a valid thing to be somewhat unsure of.

But it is normal. Are you seriously saying you've never heard of a nosebleed??

Yes of course! I know the mouth and nose are connected I think it was more the surprise of blood even going down my nose on its way towards my throat. I wonder how much blood I have swallowed. I’m not trying to stay in a state of anxiety, I’m just trying to understand as best as possible. I guess I’m not like others who are like ‘Oh blood coming out of my nose that I’ve never seen before? Totes normal’ I’m not trying to poke fun but like I think this is a valid thing to be somewhat unsure of. I guess I need to find the root of the problem. Like I said before, I’m definitely going to try and get a humidifier. But man, until then I’m afraid to even sneeze or inhale through my nose too hard.

Ah. I misunderstood your question. Haha sorry about that. I thought it quite odd that you wouldn't know they were connected, so I suspected you'd correct me.

Dude I don’t know if you’re trying to help me or not but it seems like you’re just being rude lol DUH I’ve heard of nosebleeds I was saying in my own, PERSONAL experience I have never had one before so, therefore, no it is not normal for me. Lol maybe you’re just trying to make me laugh but honestly I’m not sure I understand your tone haha so I’ll stick to reading some of the other helpful commenters. Thanks for trying to help though (I think?)

I figured you were just trying to explain how it works! Thanks Bin_tenn, honestly you are always so knowledgeable in these things so it helps a lot.

A humidifier is a perfectly valid first step. Of course you don't have to run to a doctor for everything, but if you try to resolve it at home with no luck, that's when a doctor comes in. They can investigate, find root cause and find the permanent solution.

Yes someone else mentioned maybe it is the new Zyrtec. I just needed something stronger than Claritin because I live where allergies this time of year are insane. I don’t really want to stop it but I also don’t want to lose more blood. Hmmmmmm maybe I should try the humidifier first and then if that doesn’t work stop taking the Zyrtec. I don’t want to annoy the urgent cares, like someone else posted, but I also don’t have a personal physician so I’m trying to do home remedies before trying to go somewhere else. I just wish they would stop! Blood in general freaks me out but seeing it come out of a place I’ve never seen it come out of before freaks me out more. Deep breaths and home remedies are needed! Thanks for your input!!

Okay so everyone seems to think it’s a vessel rupturing? Here’s another problem though….this morning on my way to work…TMI WARNING: I felt some stuff in my nose and sniffed it backwards real hard. I figured it was just like some mucus and then I felt something weird in my mouth….fresh blood droplets all over my tongue…. As soon as I got to work I blew my nose again and nothing….but I’m freaking out.
It’s been getting cooler here, especially in the morning, and I have the worst roommate in the world who will wake up in the middle of the night to turn our air conditioning to 58°. 58. I die every morning. But this has been going on for a long time….however, since it’s getting cooler outside could this have an effect on my nose and the blood all up in it? I also recently started taking Zyrtec like 2 weeks ago….if that might have anything to do with it?

Antihistamines dry up the mucous membranes. Thereby making the blood vessels even more susceptible to rupture.

My brother has reaaaaal bad hayfever, and constantly gets nosebleeds as a result. If you've got bad allergies it's most likely them or the Zyrtec. Also really common to wake up with a nosebleed, as (soz in advance) you don't stop yourself picking your nose when you're asleep, so if it's irritated you just rub or pick away, meaning you're way more likely to give yourself a bleed, so don't worry if that happens!!

Yes I'm just trying to help. I apologise if my tone was off.

OK, so nosebleeds are not normal for you. But they ARE normal and commonplace for human beings in general. This means that if you've had a couple of nosebleeds, they don't signify anything, and you don't have to worry. You definitely shouldn't jump to conclusions about cancer or other frightening things. Nosebleeds are so common they don't have anything to do with cancer.
