    It's common enough at times of nervous stress, nothing to get worried about. ;)

    You picked a bad time to start picking your nose. :)

    But yeah, it seems common enough. A couple of people during my LC got very bad nose bleeds.

    Take iron tablets, or Multi Vits with iron in them. It can help some people.

    No but Ive been getting severe case of the butterflies....angry,vomiting butterflies.... *shudder*
    Pinch the bridge of your nose and tip your head back when you get real bad ones.When I was a kid i got this real bad nosebleed because of a similar situation(a test that made me super nervous)and i didnt know that you are supposed to slow the flow of blood.I just let it flow into a tissue(i was about 7)and my teacher freaked out coz the blood that was comin out was really dark and i was turnin VERY white!Nowaday whenever i get a nosebleed i feel really woozy for the simple reason bein that it reminds me of the epic one i had years ago.
    Bring plenty of tissues in with you to exams,and takin iron IS a good idea but for some people it can cause crampy tummys!

    Aw poor Piste! At least it wasn't during the exam?
    I have the same problem, havn't slept properly since wednesday night, and I constantly feel sick!
    Havn't actually been sick yet, but I probably would if I was doing Higher level maths!

    That's harsh man, but seriously, dont try studying the morning of exams!.

    I promise you'll be better off spending that time sleeping, or even just relaxing (i know,easier said than done!).

    Be confident in yourself. Sounds like you're doing a lot of work, but dont do silly things like studying in the morning, or staying up late to cram. That's a recipe for crashing :(.

    That's awful Piste.

    I didn't know nose bleeds could be stress related. I got one during a french listening class once. That wasn't nice.

    *Hug*
    I got sick after English 1,haven't had any nosebleeds or anything though. I'm sleeping like crap my head is constantly pounding, but that just happens whenever I catch a sniff of stress.

    Anyone else suffering severe lonliness from staying in studying all the time... Its beginning to get to me so much I stayed up till my sister and her mates flew in from london last night and talked to them till 3 in the morning.

    I got a small nosebleed on the way home. Didn't really notice because I was tired from lack of sleep.

    Being the kind fellow that I am, I gave my brother my water bottle for the exam because he forgot his. 'twas good craic coming out feeling a bit dehydrated as well as needing to piss at the same time. :pac:

    Dont tilt you head back if you get a nosebleed, you're only running all the blood back into your head, might even go back down your throat. Get some tissue, go to the loo, and let it run itself out


  • Registered Users Posts: 175 ✭✭Lucet


    I got it on Wednesday night, two hours after I find out about English exam :D.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,082 ✭✭✭Pygmalion


    Hopefully won't, I had one or two in the JC, got some blood on my maths paper.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 529 ✭✭✭Homicidal_jesus

    He/She probably did.

    OR!

    He/She is bizarrely passionate about devices that use magnets to wipe hard drives.

    Could be hayfever.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Aw yay thanks for the sympathy guys :) I don't think anything I missed out onstudying actually came up in maths at least- phew!

    I'll definitely be sleping as much as possible and not getting up at ungodly hours (well 7...) to cram!

    Pro Tip: Rub some Vaseline on the inside your nose it prevents your nose from bleeding by preventing moisture loss

    No, but I have been getting a lot of weird dreams.
