Therapy
Nosebleeds under stress can be very stressful for many people. Because unlike headaches, it can hardly be hidden. This makes it all the more important that those affected can at least withdraw briefly at the beginning of the nosebleed in order not to become even more stressed by the attention that is generated.
Bend your head slightly forward and press your nostrils firmly together with your thumb and index finger for 10-15 minutes. Cold compresses on the neck can also be helpful. Ultimately, however, people should try to cope better with stressful situations. Under certain circumstances, professional help can also be called upon for this, especially in the case of mental illnesses such as anxiety disorders.
Prophylaxis
The best prevention against nosebleeds during stress is to avoid stressful situations. However, many affected people find “normal” stress already exhausting and demanding. However, autogenic training, progressive muscle relaxation or meditation can often raise the personal “stress threshold”.
In everyday life, moisturizing nasal sprays or caring ointments can also care for our nasal mucous membrane. Particularly in winter, those affected should ensure that there is sufficient humidity in the rooms. Our next article could also be interesting for you: Homeopathy for nosebleeds
Nosebleed due to stress in the child
Even a child can be under considerable stress. School, classmates or family put a measurable strain on the little ones. In addition to stomach or headaches, nosebleeds can also be a physical sign of mental stress.
In affected children, sudden nosebleeds can be observed in stressful situations, such as class work. Nevertheless, the situation must also be viewed critically here. Nosebleeds are a very common phenomenon and can have many different causes.
A definite connection between psychological stress and nosebleeds can therefore only be proven in a few cases. Sometimes, especially small children tend to pick their noses excessively under stress.Injury from the fingers and nails can damage the sensitive blood vessels and cause them to burst.
