Overview

• Occasionally, nosebleeds may indicate other disorders such as bleeding disorders or high blood pressure.
• Frequent nosebleeds may also be a sign of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (also called HHT or Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome).
• Blood thinners such as Coumadin, Plavix, or aspirin may cause or worsen nosebleeds.
