Blood pressure and nosebleeds?
-
My blood pressure has been slightly elevated for the past year but not enough to initiate medication. I am a pretty healthy 60-year-old male who is active. I have had sinus problems for a large part of my life and had sinus surgery back in 2003. Something from the surgery caused me to bleed a lot and I had to have emergency surgery a week later to fix it. (had to get several units of blood). Haven't had a nosebleed in years but the other night after using my neti pot in the shower my nose started bleeding. Finally got it to stop and was ok until two days later it broke free again and I went to the emergency room. They sent me to an ent who did a cauterization. In the meantime, I went to my regular doctor and asked to be put on blood pressure meds because my anxiety is out of the roof right now.
I am scared to even try to drive or walk around the block. Has anyone had a similar situation? Anything you want to share would be great.

@jeffy I think anxiety promotes bad health and mind, to say the least. A healthy mind comes from good thinking and proactive physical output. You need to focus on overcoming these issues by remaining in contact with your doctor and asking questions which promotes a good fight against the issues. physical health recovers with consistent maintenance, and a healthy mind. Anxiety does the opposite.
