In some cases, nosebleeds medically termed epistaxis can be associated with an underlying illness. Arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, malaria, scarlet fever, sinusitis, and typhoid fever are all known to  cause nosebleeds, some of which can be serious and result in significant blood loss. Conditions that cause increased bleeding tendencies, such as hemophilia, leukemia, thrombocytopenia (a below-normal concentration of platelets in the blood), aplastic anemia, or liver disease, also may be implicated in  nosebleeds.

Nosebleeds are much more common in children than they are in in adults. This is no doubt largely due to the fact that children like to stick their fingers and other objects into their nostrils. In addition, children's tissues, including the mucous membranes lining the nose, are also thinner than those of adults and therefore more vulnerable to damage. 

There are two classifications of nosebleeds, depending on where in the nose the blood is coming from. Posterior nosebleeds primarily afflict elderly people and those with high blood pressure. In this type of nosebleed, blood comes from the rear of the nose and runs down the back of the mouth into the throat, no matter what position the person is in. The blood is usually dark red in color, although it can be bright red.If the bleeding is severe, blood can flow from the nostrils as well.

The overwhelming majority of nosebleeds are anterior nosebleeds, in which bright-red blood flows from the front part of the nose. Most often they are the result of some type of trauma to the nasal tissues. If the person stands or sits, the flow of blood comes out of one or both nostrils. If the person lies on his or her back, the blood may flow backward, into the throat. This type of nosebleed can be frightening, and it may look as if there is a lot of blood, but in reality it is not usually serious and very little blood is actually lost.

Helpful notes

Bioflavonoids 10 bioflavonoids are natural antioxidant and free radical destroyer, help prevent tissue damage. Not getting enough of these in your 
diet has been linked to increased vulnerability of getting nose bleeds and related problems.
