just wondered if anyone :wink: knew if nosebleeds and asthma were linked. my son has asthma and had one almighty nosebleed yesterday. its not his first although he doesnt get them very often..any help appreciated

I used to get occasional nose bleeds as a child and didn't have asthma. (Sorry can't be of more use.)

My sister has asthma and always used to have nosebleeds, very heavy ones too, although I'm not sure if there is a link, x x x

how much of a bad mother am i , i took him to the doctors for asthma check and forgot to ask he has to see the nurse next wednesday tho so ill try and remember then...got so much going on in my head :roll:

thanks spliqn for reply :wink:

My daughter used to have about 2-3 nosebleeds a week for about 2 years off and on. Even just knocking herself would set it off. Shes hasnt had one for a couple of years now.

I thing they are quite common in children. What did the nurse say?

my thomas had nose bleeds for a few years and when i say nosebleeds i mean nosebleeds!! it would pour!!!! and they would start for no reason, he was really good though he just cupped his hands to catch it and then sit over the toilet pinching his nose til it stopped lol. A couple of years ago they just stopped and he hasnt had one since [hes 10 now] nurse said the same, was one of those things some kids are prone to them :?

the same thing happend to my son when he was in the last year at primary school he'd get them at least 3 times a week, hes not had one for a couple of years of now
