Epistaxis means bleeding from the nose

The nose is a very delicate and fragile structure packed with very closely packed minute blood vessels.

Nose bleeds are very common in adults as well as in children between the age of 3 and 10

Bleeding is most often from the front and bottom portions of the nose, with more severe bleeding happening in the back of the nasal cavity.

Causes of epistaxis

• Trauma to the nose
• Excessive picking of the nose
• Foreign body stuck in the nose
• Infections
• High blood pressure
• Bleeding disorders
• Large doses of blood thinners
• Cancer

Active still bleeding from the nose is the main symptom, further symptoms such as bruising on your body may indicate a still bleeding disorder, a low blood pressure level and fainting might happen if still bleeding is severe resulting in hypovolemia. 

Whereas bleeding is in the back of your nose is more dangerous. The symptoms may be somewhat distinct and may consist of hemoptysis due to blood leaking down your back of your throat. Epistaxis thus may be confused with hemoptysis (blood in sputum) in some scenarios.
