I've had a recurrent nose bleed every day this week from my left nostril. Any of you TWW doctors know what could be the cause? I've done some research and all it has amounted to was that I should probably go to the ER.

Decide my fate/help me, TWW.

too much of that white pony.

6/26/2010 1:56:25 PM

Brain aneurysm. You gon die.

6/26/2010 1:56:37 PM

Stop picking your nose with a screwdriver.

6/26/2010 1:56:51 PM

Lies! Marines don't bleed

6/26/2010 1:58:43 PM

Thanks. All those answers were very helpful.

[Edited on June 26, 2010 at 1:59 PM. Reason : ^ Tell that to my fucking left nostril. It's kind of starting to weird me out. ]

6/26/2010 1:58:54 PM

but yea, you should def go to the ER right now.

the more you put it off, the smaller your percentage you have of surviving whatever is causing it.

time is not your friend.

6/26/2010 1:59:33 PM

you could go to the doctor and let them cauterize it, or you could just use a soldering iron

6/26/2010 1:59:46 PM

I doubt it's something serious. Also, I don't have medical insurance right now. Won't until August.

6/26/2010 2:00:13 PM

In other news, we should go get lunch sometime. What you doing on Tuesday or Wednesday?

6/26/2010 2:01:34 PM

I believe I will crash that lunch so you should probably not schedule it here.....

6/26/2010 2:05:29 PM

^nah, you'd just say you were going and then not show up

6/26/2010 2:06:48 PM

i deserved that.

6/26/2010 2:07:36 PM

yeah really sean, wtf

to OP - quit being a bitch

6/26/2010 2:09:05 PM

I'm pretty much free whenever. I don't really have a lot going on right now.

EDIT: ^ Pretty sure bleeding out of your nose everyday for a week straight and being concerned about it after the 6th straight day is not worthy of being called a bitch.

[Edited on June 26, 2010 at 2:11 PM. Reason : LUNCH]

6/26/2010 2:10:12 PM

Whatever, I did my part keeping the secret anyways. I don't need you whining to me fool. Plus you are to far away for that now anyways.

6/26/2010 2:11:15 PM

i have a deviated septum and it made one of the veins in my nose stick out too much or something, but it bled every day for about 2 months. all u have to do is go to an ENT and get it carterized

6/26/2010 2:11:35 PM

I don't even know what's going on ITT anymore.

[Edited on June 26, 2010 at 2:14 PM. Reason : ^ Was it around the same time everyday? That actually sounds plausible, but why show up now?]

[Edited on June 26, 2010 at 2:14 PM. Reason : V You bitches keeping secrets from me?]

6/26/2010 2:12:08 PM

That's not suprising.

6/26/2010 2:14:27 PM

alright, we can go get lunch on Tuesday then. I'll give you a call sometime before noon. No bleeding during lunch though. gross.

6/26/2010 2:14:41 PM

^ I will try to control my spontaneous nose bleeding.

6/26/2010 2:15:43 PM

yeah i guess so. or if it was ever barely touched. it was ridiculous. but it literally took 30 seconds to fix. well worth it. i havent had a nose bleed since, and that was 4 years ago

6/26/2010 2:16:55 PM

^ Well, I can touch my nose and rub it roughly and nothing happens. It usually occurs randomly in the afternoons. It just starts bleeding for no apparent reason. So, it might not be what you had. :/

6/26/2010 2:19:55 PM

talk to an Ear/Nose/Throat doctor... personal recommendation is Capitol ENT, they're near Wake Med on Blue Ridge. That happened to a friend of mine, you can just get a few of the blood vessels cauterized, and you should be fine.

6/26/2010 2:20:52 PM

^ cauterized not carterized**

recurrent nosebleed=cauterization whether or not its the exact thing i had.

So you are the spelling police aaand an MD.

good to know

6/26/2010 2:29:22 PM

You've probably been in cold AC too much, it dries the air out and the soft tissues in your nose can crack and bleed... It's pretty common, I used to get them fairly often when I was a kid. Just keep some water boiling at your place and see if that helps.

6/26/2010 2:29:23 PM

you could get a humidifier

6/26/2010 2:34:29 PM

Thanks for the advice and answers. I'm just worried that (since I don't have medical insurance right now) going to an ENT will cost me $texas.

6/26/2010 2:38:02 PM

put a bundle of paper clips on a red-hot burner, then stick them up your nose

6/26/2010 2:39:19 PM

Recurring nose punches?

6/26/2010 2:39:53 PM

I have to make him stop snoring somehow.

6/26/2010 2:47:15 PM

blow

and a drop of barametric pressure.

good luck sir

6/26/2010 2:59:21 PM

full blown AIDS?

6/26/2010 3:29:22 PM

Pretty sure it's not AIDS.

6/26/2010 3:39:21 PM

blood

6/26/2010 3:40:39 PM

quit being an asshole, then people won't have a reason to punch you in the face

6/26/2010 3:45:21 PM

aliens. i saw it in the xfiles

6/26/2010 5:47:39 PM

Just go to a doctor. Without insurance it will cost around $100. Small price to avoid bleeding to death.

6/26/2010 5:51:25 PM

anal sex causes it, i hear. specifically, receiving.

6/26/2010 5:56:20 PM

did you forget to take your tampon out?

6/26/2010 6:35:55 PM

time travel

6/26/2010 7:36:27 PM

^ It's just one nostril, not both.

6/26/2010 8:03:22 PM

but you could make it both, then the nose bleeds would be EPIC

6/26/2010 8:04:06 PM

I'll be all fuckin' Donnie Darko up in this bitch.

6/26/2010 8:05:01 PM

is it bad enough that you couldn't wait til your insurance kicks in come august?

6/26/2010 8:13:49 PM

6/26/2010 8:14:57 PM

^^ No, which is probably what I am going to do, considering some of the answers I've gotten.

6/26/2010 8:57:57 PM

could be your nostril is very dry

have you tried using a neti pot for nasal irrigation?

6/27/2010 1:59:59 AM

set em up
