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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I got a nosebleed. For 7 hours. I ended up in the ER. FML
Today, I had a cold and was vomiting. I sneezed really hard, smacking my nose onto the toilet seat. I woke up a few minutes later with my nose bleeding, painful, and still stuffy. FML
Today, I had a sneezing fit in the middle of the night, like 10 really great big sneezes, but then it was over and I went back to sleep. I got up this morning and turned the light on, and turns out I’d been sneezing blood over everything, the bed, walls, carpet, furniture, clothes, everything. FML
Today, on the drive to church, I got a nosebleed. Not so bad, until I sneezed and splattered myself and my fiancé with blood, snot, and eventually tears. FML
Today, after days of nasal congestion, I stifled a sneeze. It went out my nose, blowing out a massive spray of green gunk, streaked with blood. This happened at a meeting, splattering the table in front of me with green bloody mucus. The other attendees looked horrified and one ran to vomit. FML
Today, I was on my way to work. Out of nowhere, my period started. Due to allergies, I had uncontrollable sneezes. Now, I have blood all over my pants. FML
Today, I was sitting next to a lady on an airplane who was very overweight. She fell asleep on me, and violently bled from her nose upon take off and landing. FML
Today, I gave blood. He sneezed while he stuck the needle in my arm. FML
Today, I fell violently ill half an hour into a flight. I got sick so suddenly that I projectile vomited all over my clothes and the seat in front of me, and to top it all off, I also got diarrhea. Eight more hours to go. FML
Today, I parked in the parking lot at work feeling like I had to sneeze. As I was walking in, the sneeze finally came. Apparently, my nose was bleeding so when I sneezed, blood got all over the floor and my brand new work clothes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

A 3 hour nose bleed? You need to see a doctor

I'm busy or something.

Yeah, somebody managed to get a pipe shoved in their ass. I think that's more important. Either that, or Doc needs some "me time" with his soap operas and such.

I hope you had a tampon with you.

next time that happens use your shirt to wipe/blow your nose and get as much blood on it as possible. then next time you see someone approach you lie perfectly still with your eyes closed and listen for all the commotion :D

Next time put tissue paper in your nostrils and tilt your head back. A three hour nosebleed is not good. You need to see a doctor because clearly your blood isn't clotting.

Nosebleed expert here: do not tilt your head back. It could make you choke on blood. My credentials? Well, I had weekly half-hour to hour-long nosebleeds every winter until I was seven, then every three winters after that due to cauterisation. I'm almost 21. That's a lot of nosebleeds.

Oh okay. I'll remember to do that next time I have a nosebleed. My apologies.

According to some sources, holding your head back isn't the way to deal with it, but pinching your nose and holding your head forward is. It would stop the bleeding within 10 minutes.

Mum used to use a latex glove filled with frozen peas. Painful, but effective. But very, very painful.

Agreed there ^^ actually, you have to bend your head slightly and press firmly your nose until the bleeding stops. If you tilt your head back the blood may flow straight to your lungs.

Chronic nosebleeder here, and tilting your had back is definitely the worst thing to do.

There's a ******* button for that. If that's all you have to add to the conversation, then don't bother commenting.

Awww FYL :( I've had a few bad nosebleeds in my life... There are times when i get nosebleeds like 3 days in a row! Some people say that it has to do with puberty, I don't know...

I would stand over the sink & let as much out first, then wet my forehead, more like drench, then sit down with my head tilted back. Next plane ride, try this if it happens again.

This may sound gross, but if you have to resort to it than use tampons. I don't use them but still, hopefully you see someone for that just in case it wasn't just the high altitude giving you grief.
