Nosebleeds warning

Health experts have warned frequent nosebleeds could be a sign of a much more serious medical condition and urged sufferers to visit their GP.

More than two nosebleeds a month could be a sign of an underlying problem with blood clotting such as von Willebrand's disorder, doctors say.

Dr Gerry Dolan, consultant haematologist at Queen's Medical Centre Hospital, Nottingham, said: "Nosebleeds are usually more annoying than serious but if you are suffering from more than two nosebleeds a month, it is strongly advised that you visit your GP for assessment, particularly if you have a family history of bleeding."
