Passing out- Nose Bleeds- and Headaches

heyy, im 17 and i have the same thing... except i recently just started getting nosebleeds..

hEY, 17 HERE IN GEORIGA, AND SAME EXACT PROBLEMS, AND I THINK WE MAY ALL BE ANEMIC (IRON DEFICIENCEY) YOU NEED IRON PILLS, NOT THAT SERIOUS, BUT DONT AIT TO LONG, OR IT CAN GET THAT WAY!!!

I have a lot of nose bleeds. Mostly when I blow my nose..its only in one nose hole and then I feel like I'm going to pass out.

I get nose bleeds and dizziness but my head is fine. I'm 16 too.

i get this too, I'm 16 and definitely not anemic because I've had blood tests. My blood pressure is also normal. what is it :S

so weird! im 17 and the same thing is happening to me! constant headaches, dizziness, nose bleeds and im always nauseated. ive been tested and im not anemic....what the heck?! :/

I AM 19 AND I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS..AND WHEN I GO TO THE DOCTOR THEY TELL ME IM FINE...BUT I REALLY DONT THINK THIS IS NORMAL........

I am 24 and I have just been getting it recently as well although my bloodwork and blood preasure is fine my doctor does think that it can be due to the horomones in birthcontrol I am currently using an IUD (to help with menstrual problems). Girls i suggest that if you are on any kind of birthcontrol to speak to your doctors about maybe trying a different type that has lower doses of horomones ... I do warn you though that with the birthcontrols that have lower horomones even thought they do say that they are just as effective with protecting against pregnancy please take extra caution. Both of my children were born on low horomone birthcontrol even though i was taking them as directed. I hope this is helpfull for everyone.

well iv just turned 16 and im starting to get frequent nosebleeds all the time, the reason i came on this site becuase this morning i woke up and i could taste blood, and i had a nose bleed while i was sleeping which caused it to go to the back of my throat becuase i was lieing backwards, i feel quite ill now. my mum says it our age becuase our body is changing, and some people say you have too much blood in your body and some needs to get out
so dont worry to much
comments/feedback appreciated . . x

really wierd, my daughter is 17 and haveing some of these same issues she has had a CT scan done and is now getting ready to go to a neuro-surgeon

Okay, guys, listen up; I'm not a physician and therefore cannot give you a specific diagnosis, but I am an EMT and thus knowledgeable about medical emergencies. The symptoms you all are describing could be related, as in the same thing is causing the headache and the nosebleed, they could be more cause-and-effect, like the nosebleed caused the headache, or vice-versa, or possibly the two symptoms are not related at all (not probable). For those of you who have these symptoms simultaneously, it is a good idea to go see your physician; the problem COULD go away, depending on what's causing it, but it might not. Causes for these symptoms run the gamet; it could be something as simple as a sinus infection or dry nasal membranes that have cracked, or it could be a sign of something more serious, like high blood pressure or anemia, and a whole host of other unwholesome, though not so common, causes, like brain tumors or a sign of a pending stroke. And it goes without saying that any recent head trauma could be the root cause as well, so if you've hit your head recently, have it checked out:) Ladies, if you're on birth control, you might be experiencing a horomonal issue. You might need to speak with your physician about changing your birth control, or going with a lower dosage. If you're smoking and/or drinking caffeine or alcohol while on birth control, quit and see if you notice any changes; those chemicals generally don't mix well with birth control. It could be the drugs (both legal and/or illegal varieties) you take causing the issue, especially if they're stimulants, which can cause your blood pressure to spike. Another thing, just throwing this out there for anyone to whom it applies, if you're nosebleeds are gushers, as in you're bleeding heavily for more than a few minutes, consider them emergencies; these nosebleeds should be taken seriously, DO NOT WAIT THEM OUT. If you've already seen your physician, and he/she has ruled out all of the above common causes and then some, and you're still having this problem, you may have to seek out a specialist; your physician should be able to refer you to one.

I know none of this is a definite answer, and this is by no means an exhaustive list of possible causes, but it should give you some direction. If you have these episodes frequently, speak to your doctor about any patterns you've noticed, like it happens a certain time of the month, or after you ingest a certain substance, etc. If your last espisode was your first, try to remember any details like recent changes you've made, i.e. changing to or starting a new medication. The more detailed an account you can give your doctor, the closer you'll be to a solution.

As it happens, I'd within the last 5 years started experiencing migraines accompanied by minor nosebleeds and allergy flare-ups. It was diagnosed as allergic reactions. They happened even more frequently when I started allergy medication, as that dried up my sinus cavities bad. Finally fed up, I cut out smoking, caffeine, alcohol, and allergy medication, and started a simple diet eliminating common food alleries, and guess what? No migraines, nosebleeds, or other allergy related issues since I did that a year ago. I've gradually re-introduced more foods back into my diet, a little at a time, and in doing so, I've isolated the whole issue--portabella mushrooms; 6 years ago, I got hooked on the stupid mushrooms and later had developed an allergic sensitivity to them. Upon adding that back to my diet, all the allergy symptoms came back with a vengence. So it REALLY could be something so simple...

Hey I have a close neighbor who babysits my daughter from time to time and the other day I heard a bang and then my lil girl crying! I ran over and saw her on her knees on the floor and my lil girl on the ground crying.  My baby was fine it was my neighbor I am worried about, she wont go to the doctor and she has had nose bleeds before.  What could this be?

I'm eighteen years old and have some of the same symptoms. It could be anemia, which is what they thought it might have been at first, but if the headaches are more of a pressure go see a doctor. It could be a serious condition called hydrocephalus. Its when brain juice builds up in your skull and doesn't circulate like it should. If left untreated it could lead to death. Mine cleared up on its own, but normally you need to have a stint put in to allow normal drainage. If you have changes in gate and equilibrium as well I'd defiantly be concerned.

im 15 and i have nosebleeds and constant headache resulting n staying n bed all week so surly everyone cant have the same thng
