Nose bleed while bending over
Today my nose started bleeding out of nowhere, I do have allergic rhinosinusitis so it is not very uncommon for me specially in winters. But today I was washing my hair bending forward and after that I spotted blood from nose, though I'm not sure if bending over was the reason for my nosebleed. It happened twice in last 2 hours. Is it something serious? What should I do? Can bending forward cause nosebleed?
