Nose bleeds?

[Bignick]

i argued with a guy i know today for ever! he tried to tell me that nose bleeds are a side effect of anabolic steroid use. Horse shit....they are a side effect of prolonged use of nasel sprays/steroids. I cannnot find anything that can relate AAS use with nose bleeds....but i was actually watching t.v. today and what tod you know...on USA there was a bodybuilder on some t.v. drama that kept on getting nosebleeds...so heres my question, but i think the answer is no. Steroids cause nosebleeds?

High BP will cause nose bleeds.

I dont use gear so i cant comment on that but ill tell ya one thing.
Last year i started getting crazy nosebleeds. Like i am talking middle of the night, morning afternoon evening. I wash having up to 5 bad nosebleeds a day. Nosebleeds that were lasting up to 10-15 minutes before i could get them under control.
It happened for about 3 or 4 months then disappeared. I really think it had to do with humidity and how dry it was. I ended up getting a humidifier for my room and it seemed to stop them completely. It will be interesting to see the information people find about this topic though.

I've had nose bleeds caused by prolonged use of dbol. I went to the doctor and he said it was caused by the increased BP and Emzhime lvls in my liver. Basically it was becoming to toxic for my liver to handle.

 

[Crimsonsweat]

high bp, high cholesterol, and high water retention(also causing high bp) liver damage, and dry climate no humidity can cause it too, and beleive it or not high stress.

High blood pressure, dryness, prolonged use of nasal sprays are all factors in getting nosebleeds although I believe the bp has to get pretty high for it to happen. From my own experience and others I have spoken to, they occur when you are exerting yourself, which spikes your blood pressure momentarily--sometimes high enough to pop a small blood vessel if you already have high blood pressure. Many kinds of AAS do increase bp to some degree, so you just need to be careful.

I agree with Fitchick, Most of the time when I get them it's when it is very humid and dry. Been getting them since I was about 6 years old.

 

[Bignick]

so one could argue that steroid induced high BP would cause the nose bleeds then.....

 

[saudades]

If your resting bp gets really high, then indirectly yes, because your pressure goes up when you exert yourself. There was a member here who posted about a nosebleed out of both nostrils after an intense set--can't remember who it was, and I can't find the original post.

I've seen a powerlifter blow his nasal canal while squattin 800lb and blood flew everywhere. Was kinda cool, and yes he completed the lift.

I've also given IP nosebleeds, when he gets outta hand and I have to remind who's the boss, LOL.

 

[optimalbalance]

Very much yes, High BP causes nose bleeds. I know this to be 100% true. The liver prob. will also, I've never researched it but it makes sense. As far as your nose becoming dry from surroundings, and/or you picking it too much, yes that will do it too. Also a long weekend partying on shit will def. cause one.

Powerlifting is prob. more about blowing a vessel from strain rather than high BP or AAS use.

I have a buddy who got nose bleeds on his 4th week of M1T, so i'd have to go with High Blood Pressure, which can be induced by steroids.

you smacked him in the face with your cock 'n balls didn't you, you sick bastard.

i had to stop taking 50mg winny tabs because they made my bp sky high and they gave me terrible nosebleeds.

sae thing happened to me on dbol the one time i used it. i got horrible nosebleeds, back pain and bloated bad. strong as hell though.

 

[Southern Comfor]

I posted about getting a nosebleed in the gym about 4 weeks ago. Thinking its the Winny also. Happened two weeks in a row, both times during my Tricep workout, WTF?
Flex, I wouldnt recomend D-Bol to anyone cause of that bloat you mentioned. Ive seen a buddy put on like 3inches IN HIS FACE after 2 weeks of D-Bol, can we say water retention? Funny thing is, it was a d-bol only cycle and he had NO clue what the 3 letters PCT meant, he turned out ok though, just lost all his gains less than a month later.

 

[saudades]

So that was you. I knew someone had posted about that a bit ago. That is funny that it only happened during the tricep workout, but then if you are lying on your back and lifting a heavy weight over you, when you get up--look at your face--most people are red in the face after skull crushers and the like.
