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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

Fyl! And you might need to see a doctor is sneezing makes your nose bleed

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.
Killer_fel 15
Over 100 mph? I think you are exagerating. I don't think a sneeze is THAT powerful.

41- actually you'd be surprised.

Pffft, MythBusters busted this!

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...

Thumbed down you because of your name..

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.
morganglover 5
If they are on a plane, there isn't a box of tissues!

He could bring some.

Why was your nose bloody in the first place?
Queen_Cosmos 7
It was probably because of the high altitude.
ManInTheMachine 20
OP is probably sensitive to high altitudes. That seems to be the most logical explanation.
dancinwookie 21
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.

69- It's happening. Check out what went down in Miami this past Saturday. You can't make this shit up: http://www.examiner.com/article/police-shoot-naked-cannibal-during-zombie-attack-miami OR http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/05/26/miami-police-confrontation-men-leaves-1-dead-1-hurt/

78- Was about to reference that myself but I didn't know how many people knew about it. And there's a thumb up for you.

Pandacupcakelove 26
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.
siickman 7
My nose bleeds are short but massive .. I go for 10 mins of heavy flow lol... But its like every other month... Doctors have no explanation... (i live in miami btw.. Didnt know if that helped anyone explain my problem if they had an explanation)
coconutdaydream 7
A heavy flow and a wide-set ******? Your the girl from mean girls aren't you!

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

It really works!!
ebdeadaccount 11
I beleive it's best to avoid looking at a bright light and push as hard as you can on the spot right under ur nose

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.

Did the people next to you say bless you?

No, but the people above you did.
