How To Stop A Nosebleed

Stop a Nosebleed. Don't suffer unnecessarily with this common complaint. Our expert advice shows the correct way to stop the discomfort of a nose bleed. Stop a Nosebleed. Don't suffer unnecessarily with this common complaint. Our expert advice shows the correct way to stop the discomfort of a nose bleed.

Step 1: Pinch your nose firmly

Sit down and pinch your nose firmly just below the bridge with your thumb and index finger.

Step 2: Lean your head forward

Lean your head forward and breathe through your mouth, maintaining the pressure for ten minutes.

Step 3: Continue to apply pressure

If the bleeding has not stopped, apply pressure for another 10 minutes.

Whatever you do don't tip your head back since this will result in you swallowing blood. Or stick a key on the back of your neck… that's just an old wives' tale!

Bleeding should stop in 30 mins, but avoid bending down or blowing your nose for the next 12h. If bleeding does not stop, seek medical advice

    the thing i always do is press firmly on both sides of the nose. that closes of the veins and stops the bleeding long enough to close the wound dont do this too long you dont wnat your nose to fall of ;)

    i think the best way is to tamponade something soft into your nose.if your nose often bleeds, you must go to the hospital.

    I am sorry but the best way to stop a nose bleed is to have a large object under your top lip. When I say large object I mean larger than your teeth. If you get a sudden nose bleed take a clean index finger and put it under yur top lip parallel to your teeth. It helps to push up a bit. I read it on the internet and when I got a nosebleed I tried it and it worked wonders.

    i get nose bleeds just around everyday in summer and winter. yeah i know its really bad. but the treatment for it is horrible. in winter its really dry and the artificial heat doesnt help. summer.. its hot xD leaning back makes the blood flow down your throat which can cause it to flow into your lungs or stomach.. which can make you throw up or die? scary. haha. it also tastes digusting. if you hold your nose straight for around 5-10 minutes then it SHOULD create a blod clot. it feels REALLY yuck like you have lots of.. snot. but DONT BLOW because it'll probably start again. and worse. This isnt a lie. seriously you can look it up. if you're nose is bleeding really badly it can start to come out your eye(s). dont panic. its happened to me and it just stoped after a minute or so. but if it goes for 5 minutes see a doctor. or go to hospital. its REALLY scary. my parents freaked. just stay calm. BY THE WAY pinch hard. it hurts but it works. and yeah i know sometimes sticking tissue up ur nose is easier to handle. but it doesnt help(unless its a minor nose bleed). the blood clot will attatch to the tissue and come out with the tissue. try not to move around too much and keep you're head above your heart.
