Need help asap please

What could this be caused by ->

On Friday I had 3 nose bleeds and on Saturday I had only 2. While having those nose bleeds I began to get very light headed, my vision started to blur, and ears started to ring very bad. Eventually it started to feel like my head became a stress ball. I had asked everyone that I new what is could be caused by but they just said that it could be because my iron is to low or I am not drinking enough water but I knew that it was neither of those things. I even talked to 2 nurses and they said the same exact thing

All I want to know is what is could be caused by and how I can fix it because over the past few years it has gotten worse and i just don't know what to do because every one is saying the same exact thing

its unlikely that your nosebleeds are caused by an iron deficiency but rather the other way round. like the person who also answered this said, it could very well be from the drier weather environment- and some people exposed to that could very well be more susceptible to having frequent/consistent nosebleeds at the time. when we lose a certain amount of blood it may cause in some of the resulting symptoms: lightheadedness, dizziness, fatigue, etc.

do you realise if these nosebleeds occur at a particular time of the year? if not, do they happen sporadically throughout the whole year? it could very well be associated with the weather.

if these are sporadic throughout an entire year, do you notice any other household members experiencing the same issue? your doctor may ask if there is a bleeding disorder in your family history- but this is not as common.

what I can recommend as general advice is similar to the other answer. have an NSAID (ibuprofen, aspirin) on hand to help with headaches, and if symptoms continue to occur or you suspect an iron deficiency, consult a doctor or seek out parental/guardian assistance about this issue so it can get fixed.

feel better soon!

Nosebleeds can be caused by really dry weather of any temperature. Your symptoms may be unrelated, but since they happened simultaneously, we'll assume they're related. Depending on the amount of blood loss, that can cause dizziness. Since your symptoms are so broad, it's hard to know for sure. What were you doing during when the nosebleeds started. I sometimes get these symptoms, sans nosebleeds if I haven't eaten for a while, or if I go from light activity to heavy activity. I might try taking Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen to help with the headaches, but be careful and ASK FIRST. Overall, it probably isn't to serious and may get better on it's own. If symptoms persist, seek the help of your guardian and doctor. Hope you start feeling better.
