I have been getting nosebleeds. I notice it is when I am stressed? I have checked my blood pressure and everything seems ok there.

Can nose bleeds be caused by anxiety?

Get doc to look up there,even dry nasal membranes can cause it !!!

Best to you

Wow I was just going to post something similar but came across your question before I posted my own. I woke up this morning to a bleeding nose. I have been having trouble with this off and on for years but here lately it seems to be more often. It's only on the left side when it happens. I was told that antihistamines can dry the mucus membranes up as well as dryness in the air you breath in your home. I have been using vasoline and when I can get a vaporizer to work I use those also and it will help a lot. I also started using a nasal moisturizer that seems to help also. I hadn't had any problems for several weeks until this morning but I quit moisturizing the inside of my nose and with the a/c on I am sure the combination is what caused it. I have never heard that anxiety can cause this problem so you have me curious now. I have dealt with anxiety most of my life some years worse than others. I am going to click on the link that Sit-N-Spin posted to see what that says. I don't know about you but when I get the nose bleeds it scares the crap out of me. Hang in there, you now have a friend out in cyberspace that knows just how you feel. God bless!
