Hi
I am a fellow health anxiety sufferer forever thinking I have something awful. However, I am writing today with something related to my mum. She's had frequent nose bleeds since February (she had a heart attack last year and was put on blood thinners aspirin and clopidogriel) they seems to stop untill last Friday where she had a big one lasting around 20/30 minutes, this repeated itself on th Saturday and again on the Sunday. By Monday we were at the end of our tether and took her down to our ent where they cauterised it. It seemed fine untill Wednesday night where a tiny trickle of blood emerged, on Friday a large clot came out, seeing this back to the ent we went she didn't oppose any concern so my mum felt reassured. No longer than an hour being home a small nose bleed happened again lasting around a minute nothing compared to her bleeds pre cautery but still bleeding. Yesterday another occurred which was brief lasting around two minutes.
We are both very anxious people and it is affecting her day to day life she will not go out n fear for one will start and I'd do anything to take it away from her and have it myself because I hate to see her so miserable. She used to be such an upbeat lady and now she's a husk of the woman she used to be.
I just wondered if anyone could give me any reassuring advice is it normal for these little bleeds to happen n the healing process or will something else need to be done? All I know is I can't bear to see her this way and just want a way of fixing it
Thank you to anyone who can help
