Today, I went on a 7-hour plane flight. For 3 hours I had a bloody nose. When it finally stopped, I sneezed. It started to bleed again. FML

Usually airplane cabins have a very low humidity and a fairly cool temperature. The cool dry air means that the delicate capillaries in the nose become very brittle and fragile, and break easily - particularly if you're already prone to nosebleeds. High altitudes can cause nosebleeds too. So OP was probably suffering from one of those, nothing serious.

#1 It probably doesn't normally do that, but she just stopped nosebleeding so the sneeze started it again.

1 - I disagree, as the bleeding tissue clots off, a thin layer prevents the bleeding. A strong pressure like sneezing will disrupt that layer and cause it to bleed. Nothing serious or surprising there.

Her nosebleed predicament is fairly common. And sneezes are what 100+ mph?? Yeah, I'd expect a sneeze to make a nosebleed start up again.

Over 100 mph? I think you are exagerating. I don't think a sneeze is THAT powerful.

Actually after I've had a nosebleed sneezing and/or blowing my nose can sometimes re trigger one..although the fact op's lasted 3 hours concerns me a bit...

If I sneezed after a nosebleed that would happen, I don't think op needs to see a doctor for that. On the other note, I would suggest op seeing a doctor for cauterization. It definitely helped me.

74- I personally don't have a problem with them but if they're on FML they probably should know this is the last place to express it. It's for their own good.

Go blow your nose and keep a box of tissues with you.

Why was your nose bloody in the first place?

It was probably because of the high altitude.

OP is probably sensitive to high altitudes. That seems to be the most logical explanation.

It's from all the recycled air you breathe and how f-ing dry planes are. Next time bring some Sudafed and nasal spray. Got keep those nostrils moist! I should know, I've been on a lot of transatlantic flights.

Random nose bleeds are the first indication that OP has been infected with the zombie virus. The best course of action would be to jump from the plane so as to prevent infection of other passengers.

Nah, it's probably no big deal. It happens. Also this was in a plane and I heard something about the pressure being bigger when that high up. Might have something to do with that.

I have 2-3 hour nosebleeds around when the seasons change, it runs in my family. Some of us get our noses burnt to stop it. It just happens because of the humid/dry area where we live.

Acually 29, the pressure is weaker in high altitude. It is stronger on the ground and deep under water.

If you feel another sneeze coming, rub your tongue on the roof of your mouth.
Hopefully it'll stop it.

I've been told that repeatedly saying the word "pineapple" helps, too. However, it never works when I really need it too, like during an emotional moment in church, or during an orchestra concert... that I'm playing in.

^ Can't be any worse than this:

I swear I wanted to throw my remote through the television every time I saw that.
