Hello Thanks for sharing these details. Having daily nosebleeds for 9 years, especially with bright red blood and nasal congestion, is definitely something that needs a closer look—even if your basic hospital tests have been “clean.”
The most common cause is usually a problem inside the nose itself, like: - Chronic dryness or irritation of the nasal lining - Allergies or frequent nose blowing - A small blood vessel close to the surface (sometimes called a “bleeder” or septal vessel) - Chronic nasal congestion causing fragile blood vessels
What you can do: - Use a saline nasal spray or gel to keep your nose moist. - Avoid picking your nose or blowing it too hard. - Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside your nostrils at night. - Use a humidifier if your environment is dry.
Less commonly, it could be due to a structural issue (like a deviated septum, nasal polyp, or rarely, a small growth), or a bleeding/clotting disorder, but these are usually picked up in hospital tests.
Most likely, the problem is with the lining or blood vessels in your nose, and it can usually be managed or treated. If you ever have heavy bleeding that won’t stop, feel faint, or see blood coming from both nostrils or in your spit, seek emergency care.
Next steps: Since this has been going on for years, you should see an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist if you haven’t already. They can look deeper inside your nose with a special scope and may find a small vessel or area that needs treatment (like cauterization).
Thank you
Hello
Persistent daily nosebleeds for 9 years are NOT normal and need a proper evaluation beyond routine checks. Yes, the problem is likely related to the nose or blood vessels, but sometimes it can also involve blood pressure, sinus disease, or a clotting issue.
What to do now:
1. See an ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) specialist for a detailed nasal examination — possibly with a nasal endoscopy.
2. Ask for these tests if not already done: • Complete blood count (CBC) • Bleeding/clotting profile • Blood pressure check • Sinus or nasal imaging (if needed)
3. Meanwhile, basic care: • Keep the nose moist (saline spray or petroleum jelly inside nostrils) Avoid nose picking/blowing hard • Use a humid environment if air is dry
If bleeding starts: pinch the soft part of the nose for 10–15 minutes while leaning forward
Possible causes that should be ruled out: • Fragile blood vessels in the nose (most common) • Chronic sinus or nasal inflammation • Deviated septum or nasal growth/polyp • High blood pressure • Bleeding disorder (especially with family history)
Important warning signs — seek urgent care if present: • Bleeding lasts >20 minutes despite pressure • Very heavy bleeding or dizziness • Frequent anemia or weakness
Take care
