I don't think anyone in their right mind would imagine themselves a fully trained Doctor after watching your videos, but it sure helps to have a clue about the conditions you show, how they are treated and why. Yours is one of the most Valuable channels on youtube for sure !
If you can do medical history taking, like knowning the direction and how to ask questions, you can usually know what the possible diagnoses are, (Try filling a reputable medical practice test from the knowledge you have gained from the video) Follow that by the capability to know and do what nessecary examination to take, (your patients will feel more moved/significant if you do physical examinations ;3) Diagnosis are done by you, not a machine, a machine could not integrate all information that you have (yet), don't overdepend on it Know when to refer to a specialist Then capable of treating a patient according to the published skill level in your country, a sizable amount you have to be able to treat from start to full recovery Capable of "teaching" the nessecary amount to the patient of their affliction and other questions the patient might ask Capable of mantaining a good relationship with the patient Might have other i might have missed but simply it is: Information gathering > Controlled Examination > Diagnosis > Treatment & Education And there we go, you're an "informal" doctor now,
I was diagnosed with epistaxis and had my right side cauterized a year ago when I was getting around 5 a day for a month. I urged for both sides but was told just one to be safe and now I mainly get them on the left and when I do eventually get one on the right now it lasts waaay longer. I think a big issue with me is dehydration (my blood tests said I wasnt drinking enough water) along with prominent nose vessels and allergies. I also use Ibuprofen before any other migraine medicine since it lowers my nose bleed risk. Seems the day after I drink alcohol i get constant 30 seconds mini nosebleeds too. Sorry we have to go through this guys 😁😁
Nosebleeds are not fun. Especially when you have them a lot. It can lead to a blood disorder called Anemia. Anemia is when you start to lose blood a lot and on a regular basis. It feels really bad for a short period of time, too. It's just kind of miserable for a while.
You should get worked up for HHT. It's a genetic condition and 60% have chronic daily nose bleeds. It is the second most common bleeding disorder, and it is caused by vessel malformations. You can also have bleeding in the GI tract, and vessel malformations in the lungs, liver, and brain.
In the past 3 years I get at least two random nosebleeds between May and August every year. I've had them happen just sitting watching TV thinking my nose was running and sure enough bleeding. They only last about 10-15 min. but it's still alarming. I think it must be a seasonal weather change or something. I just hate not knowing when one can happen so I keep tissues in my pockets all the time and purchased some nose clips (like the emt's use) because one happened while I was driving.
Me too... I have been bleeding all day... 1st time ever... but I've been on blood thinner for years, check INR regularly ... I went to Whole Foods for a big mixed green salad some K and D3 vitamins... still bleeding bright red blood !! 😢 help
My nosebleeds will typically last 1-3 hours. For me, doing the typical procedure doesn't do anything other than cause discomfort. I don't feel lightheaded or dizzy, but I definitely feel anxious. Just the other day, I learned that a tampon helped more than the plugging method, nose sprays, or anything else. It is very uncomfortable, but it helped me out massively.
Let's acknowledge HHT - Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasias - the 2nd most common disorder behind Von Wldebrands. It's a Genetic disorder of vessel formation and causes arteriovenous malformations to form. It's most common presentation is EPISTAXIS. Daily epistaxis, Heavy epistaxis, multiple-times a day epistaxis. Bleeding is not as easily controlled, and it isn't caused by nose picking.
Thank you. I remember when I was young and I looked at the doctor like they was crazy for suggesting that I was a nose picker. All my children have nose bleeds.
Very interesting since I get nose bleeds from heat or accidentally hitting my nose I did had nasal cautery before not too long ago but that exact day I had another nose bleed for slightly rubbing my nose w tissue but it was little after a few days probably I had an actual nose bleed for nothing to cause it I got it while sleeping
My 18 year old nonverbal autistic brother had a meltdown yesterday and we think he hit his head really hard at some point. He started having a nosebleed for 30 minutes straight, running like a tap and going through so many tissues and towels. He was crying and he did swallow some blood. After it stopped running, blood was STILL coming out for a couple hours every now and then. Yet, my dad still thought that no medical assistance was needed and that he was ‘fine’. He wasn’t even home when it first started running like a tap, and only came after it calmed down a bit and looked like a normal nosebleed to him. I’m hoping nothing’s actually wrong with him because we have no other way to communicate and ask about any other symptoms. I feel so bad for him because it looked like he was in so much pain and I couldn’t protect him from his own harm. 😢
When I was 14 years old, I fell down at my head side and because of this my nose started bleeding and my nose got swollen from outside....and today I am 20 years old and since then I have not had any problem....Can I get any kind of brain injury due to this accident in the future?
I have something called a posterior nose bleed, not the normal type. Basically my blood is less bright when I have nose bleeds, and a big mucus, blood slug kind of thing (disgusting I know) comes out at the end of my nose bleed, and I have nose bleeds every time I have a cold. Best way to stop the nose bleed?
@@richardwheelerrw I do the old fashioned way. You lean forward with the head up. Doctors don't like this way because you might choke on your own blood, however for me it's affective. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to stop them.
@@CristianoRonaldo-og6tx I spray with Neosynephrine, or Afrin, or I add Neo to a syringe of saline and flush my nose that way. Most of the time a slow rinse with a Neti Bottle of saline works for me.
Thank you for this video. It is about 1 a.m. here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. About 14 hours ago, I had a nosebleed crisis. I'm 74. I haven't had a nosebleed since I was 18 or 19, but even then, it wasn't much. This crisis shocked me when suddenly blood started spurting out of my right nostril. It took over two hours to get it under control. Fortunately, my health clinic made room in their schedule. It didn't take much discussion to see that the cause was most likely my taking too much aspirin. Now, I'm afraid to lie down. Certainly, no aspirin for a while.
You can lie down but with a few pillows behind so that you can reduce pressures build up in your head regions. Head must be higher than your heart! Nose bleeds can be dangerous esp for older folks , take it seriously.
I’m here cause I wanna be a professional boxer but my nose bleeds a lot, but it’s been better now my nose can take like four blows or jabs for it too just have a drop of blood
