Nosebleeds and Normal BP?

[liftr486]

got a new monitor (one that goes around the arm) and it says about 140/77 so maybe it is my bp causing the nosebleeds. im going to buy some hawthorn berry and celery seed extract today.

140/77 is not that high "a little tiny high ". and should not cause nose bleed.
I do believe it is something else.

went to the doc and he said that the allergy meds i was taking caused one of my veins in my nose to burst and it was unable to heal so he cortirized it and told me to put afrin on it for the next 3 days.

Good call on going to the quack, I normally do that 1st thing if my body starts acting funny those okes normally do know the answers and then I pay the bill and run before he can start to lecture me on the dangers of juice (I already know it, and my research on these drugs are most likely more comprehensive than his knowledge) LOL

Yeah that is a lot of EQ and lowering it will help, but what I really was trying to say is that dont stress the nosebleeds as much because BP is a lot more important and its good to hear that yours is around the norm and has not rasied too high.

since when is 600mg eq/week considered "a lot" of eq? pretty much a standard dosage if you ask me

anybody hear of this? im in my second week of prop 100mg eod, eq 600/wk, and tren 37.5mg ed. i jus checked my bp and it is below 120/80 yet for the past two days ive been getting nose bleeds when i blow my nose and then today out of the clear blue it starts bleeding?! ne body have an explanation for this? k to all

Roids tend to be pro-coagulant, not anti-coagulant (activate the clotting system), though if you were in DIC (coagulopathy) I suspect you would be much worse off.

I dont know what the effect of roids are on thrombocyte (platelet) counts. They could have a dilutional effect secondary to erythrocytosis?

Also if you are using steroid nasal sprays (rhinocort, flonase, nasonex) that can lead to nose bleeding.

If you use recreational cocaine, adderall or ritalin, that is your problem right there ...

If the air is especially arid, that can cause this.

If you are concerned, and if this continues, (if its continued by the time I make this post), I'd go in and get a full ABC (automated blood count) with automated differential drawn. If your platelets are < 50-70k that could be the source. < 150k, and you should start to wonder what is going on. Likely they are > 400k, I imagine roids increase platelet counts. I haven't read up on this, though.
