FOODS THAT LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE

7 BEST TIME TO DRINK WATER

Nose Bleed Care

Nose bleeds are common. Most often they are a nuisance and not a true medical problem. But they can be both.

Sit upright and lean forward. By remaining upright, you reduce blood pressure in the veins of your nose. This discourages further bleeding. Sitting forward will help you avoid swallowing blood, which can irritate your stomach.

Pinch your nose. Use your thumb and index finger to pinch your nostrils shut. Breathe through your mouth. Continue to pinch for five to 10 minutes. Pinching sends pressure to the bleeding point on the nasal septum and often stops the flow of blood.

To prevent re-bleeding, don't pick or blow your nose and don't bend down for several hours after the bleeding episode. During this time remember to keep your head higher than the level of your heart.

If re-bleeding occurs, blow out forcefully to clear your nose of blood clots and spray both sides of your nose with a decongestant nasal spray containing oxymetazoline (Afrin, Mucinex Moisture Smart, others). Pinch your nose again as described above and call your doctor.

Controlling External Bleeding

After checking the bleeding

1. Cover the Wound

Cover the wound with a sterile dressing.

2. Apply direct pressure until bleeding stops

3. Cover the dressing with bandage

Check for circulation beyond the injury – check for feeling, warmth, and color.

4. Apply more pressure and get Medical help If the bleeding does not stop:

• Apply more dressings and bandages.

• Continue to apply additional pressure.

• Take steps to minimize shock.

Tip: Wash hands with soap and water after giving care.
