Boy (19) suffers severe nose-bleed, breatlessness, escalated BP amp; pain when he has anxiety. Possible causes? -

Already on hypertension meds. Feels perfectly normal after bleeding is over. All heart-monitoring reports are normal. Kidney normal. During the episodes, experiences severe breathlessness and pain. No family history of nose bleed, family members developed some hypertension at old age. Lives in a hot and polluted city. Any direction for diagnosis will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

All I can say is change the diet! If a kid that young is on meds for high blood pressure the kid probably eats a typical awful diet. Give up drinking carbonated drinks, sports drinks, eating anything with caffeine in it and quot;fast foodsquot;. No junk food, and drink some milk ! Calcium lowers blood pressure. If he eats only fresh fruits, veggies, lean meats , whole grains, and drinks lots of water all of his health will improve.

Your best be honestly would be to see and endo, and and ENT (ear, nose, throat). He can allergies, adnoids, cysts etc.. you really need to see a specialist that specifically studies diseases of the blood, to rule out any serious underlying causes. Another suggestion would be is to see and ENT, perhaps it is something simple. I remember my sister having a lot of bloody noses as a child, particularly cause she was born with a heart condition. Her blood didn t clot as quickly as normal. However, today as she is old she doesn t experiance them much anymore. I would have a full evaluation!

What you describe could be the result of several things, stress included. Make an appointment to be re-evaluated by your Health Care Provider..

blood work is key. Check abg s (arterial blood gases) could be an imbalance of electrolytes.
