Bleeding may occur with high bp causing capillaries to be fragile , so if any minor trauma to nose or its mucosa may cause it.
If ply count is 12lakhs its very high.

Considering the age and elevated platelet count not only is haematology tests important, they become a must. You have to go for proper investigations .As far as nose bleeding is concerned go for ENT consultation to rule out any bleeding source that can be cauterized or it can have a direct association with your platelet disorder

A count of 12 lakh platelets is severe thrombocytosis
This is not normal
Please consult a haematologist and this condition investigated and diagnosed
Nosebleed has multiple reasons like trauma , granulomatous disorders , septal deviation with spur . Moreover high BP doesnt cause nose bleed , it just aggravates the episode of bleeding…However in this case I believe it is some underlying haematological aetiology …
Such high platelets predisposes to high risk of thrombosis
Kindly get this evaluated on the most urgent basis
