About 9 weeks ago I spent the weekend sanding drywall.
I used a cheap mask that didn't seal well.
On Monday my nose was clogged up.
As I tried to force whatever was in there out,
I guess I broke a blood vessel because it started bleeding like hell.
Finally got it to stop after almost an hour.
Two weeks later I was closing a stuck screen window and when it broke free it slammed down on my thumb nail.
My wife and kids were in the next room and to avoid discusting language I threw my head back with a loud arghhh!
Just as I did that, the blood vessel broke again and blood was literally pouring out of my left nostril. It took almost 2 hours to get it to stop.
I had the doctor check it and she said it was fine.
Since then, it has just started bleeding at odd times, just pours out.
Two days ago, I was talking to the Principal after entering school and all of a sudden I felt my nose start to bleed.
I excused myself without drawing attention, got it to stop after about an hour, then let it alone.
This evening, I went to blow my nose and off again it went.
This is very depressing. I am not on medication other than an aspirin once in awhile for a headache. Vitamins and fish oil but that's it.
I have been sanding all last week again as I am finishing the drywall in my kitchen, but I had a new mask and felt it was working (mostly). I can breath clearly through both nostrils.
Can anyone pass on some helpful information?
So far I have caught it before it poured all over my shirt, tie, or otherwise, but it is very disturbing.
I am 51, in relatively good health, with normal blood pressure and cholesterol. Haven't taken any juice for 8 months and that was very mild use (EN 250mg eow, plus 3 winny tabs a week, that was it.)
Anyone? My kids are kind-of scared and so am I.
