nose bleeds (please read details before answering)?

Question by shepdawg5000: nose bleeds (please read details before answering)?
I have had nose bleeds since I was about 6 years old. It always seems to happen at the change of the seasons when I get them. Sometimes, I have it where they last a minute, other times they can last up to half an hour. I know how to stop them when I get them, but I would like to know a permenant solution to prevent them altogether weather that be surgery (as a last resort) or preferably some natural solution. Also, I do not take multi-vitamins(yet) and I have a humifier on when I am at home. It seems I get a nose bleed once I leave my house and when I am at work (I work in a plastic injection molding plant). Whenever there is reduced humidity, my whole body gets dry and fells like my body is dehydrated even though I drink about a gallon of water a day, not including the two glasses of o.j. and glass of milk or two. Please help!

Your nosebleeds seem to be from the dry air since you state they are seasonal mostly. Use a humidifier in every room in your house/apartement and use vaseline aka petroleum jelly in your nostrils several times a day to help keep them moist. Keep a small tube in your pocket to use at work since the air is probably dry there too. You do need to get on a good multivitamin and a good antioxidant supplement to keep your immune system healthy.
