How to stop a nosebleed: Tips from an ENT surgeon. In this video I explain 1st aid techniques you can do to stop a nose bleed as well as things you can do to avoid a nose bleed in the future. I see a lot of incorrect practice and so I want to show you how to do this right. There is also a quiz at the end of the video to see if you are a nose bleed first aid master. I didn't manage to get on to the section on blood pressure tablets as it was making the video too long. Basically high blood pressure doesn't cause nose bleeds, but having a high blood pressure will certainly make an insignificant nose bleed become much worse and difficult to treat. Please remember to keep taking your blood pressure medication. If you would like more tips and detail about nose bleeds please sign up to my email newsletter.

They aren't for sale yet, but once I have a few I will put them on the blockchain. All profits will be donated to charities. This first one is about plastic in the sea, and I will find a charity that will accept a crypto donation. I will also make a video one day explaining the benefits of NFTs. It also gives me a chance to flex some artistic brain cells I haven't used in many many years. AFFILIATE LINKS These are links to amazon products.
