BeRock,
May I ask which came first the nosebleed or the
panic attack?
Nosebleeds can be dramatic and frightening. Luckily,
most nosebleeds are not serious and can be handled fairly easily.
To stop a nosebleed: Remain calm. Sit up straight. Lean
your head forward. Tilting your head back will only cause you to swallow the
blood.
Pinch the nostrils together with your thumb and index finger for 10 minutes.
Have someone time you to make sure you do not release the nostrils any earlier.
Spit out any blood in your mouth.
If you continue to have gushing from your nose, consider being seen in Urgent Care.
Remember you will be OK and we are here for you.
