How to stop a bloody nose...share your strategies!

[rockingnic]

Cut off your nose so you don't have a nose to bleed from or let all the blood flow out so you have no more blood to bleed, though I have personally found these not as effective as I would like...

For a while I was getting one every other minute (lining was thin or some medical nonsense like that) and after a while I could tell when one was coming and would just hold my head backwards until it stopped.

I usually just hold a tissue in front of them and force my heart to slow down so it'll clot faster. However that sometimes means that the clot will stick to the tissue when I pull it away, leading to the whole thing sliding out and starting all over again. And that is a terrible feeling, like pulling a huge extra slimy slug out through your nostril. You can feel it all the way in the back of your throat even, just sliding out.

Ugh. I think I just threw up a bit. Did we need to hear the part about feeling it in the back of your throat?

Anyways, I just pinch below the bridge of the nose and lean forward. Works great.

I used to have a nose bleed every month. But it's topped now.

Hold the top of your nose so it don't got through.

Well, the method I always used (albeit slightly gross method) when I had a lot of nosebleeds of a kid was to lean over the sink, plug the nostril that wasn't bleeding, and blow my nose. I guess you can use a tissue, but I think it's easier to just clean up the sink by running the water rather than cleaning up a blood spray when you accidentally blow a hole through the tissue.

Anyhow, usually I'd do this until a bloody snot would come out (told you it was gross) and then the nosebleed would be over. Or just until the bleeding stopped in general. Took about two minutes, I believe.

Hey, I do exactly the same thing! Just clean your nose afterwards and voila, you're done!

Nothing works for me. I don't get nosebleeds very often, but when I do, it's bad. I lean forward, backward, balanced, and practically hang myself upside downs. In the ends, I kinda just have to pinch my nose for an hour or so.

would the escapist community think less of me if I said "use a tampon."?

Rub the blood all over your clothes then walk around outside, it should turn a few heads.

Cut a tampon into little pieces and shove one of the pieces up in there.. Thats what we did in wrestling at my High School
