	Nosebleed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A nosebleed or nose bleed, medically known as epistaxis, is the relatively common occurrence of hemorrhage (bleeding) from the nose, usually noticed when it drains out through the nostrils.
		There are several causes for the nosebleed including trauma (such as hitting the nose), fracture (broken nose), pressure (such as may be caused by altitude), anticoagulant (anti-clotting) medication, excessively dry air, excessive nose-picking, allergic rhinitis and high blood pressure among the elderly.
		This occurred as a result of Attila the Hun being intoxicated and horizontal during the onset of the nosebleed.

	Nosebleed \| DoctorNDTV: Health Information on Nosebleed
		Nosebleed or epistaxis is bleeding from the nose due to damage to the tiny and delicate blood vessels.
		Anterior nosebleeds are more common and occur from the tip of the septum, which is the central partition that divides the nasal cavity and the external nose into right and left halves.
		Posterior nosebleeds occur very rarely, from the higher part of the septum or deeper in the nose, are harder to control and require medical attention.

		This type of nosebleed comes from the front of the nose and begins with a flow of blood out one nostril when the patient is sitting or standing.
		Posterior nosebleeds are more likely to occur in older people, persons with high blood pressure, and in cases of injury to the nose or face.
		Anterior nosebleeds are common in dry climates or during the winter months when heated, dry indoor air dehydrates the nasal membranes.

		Most nosebleeds begin on the septum -- the midline, vertical cartilage that separates the nasal chambers and is lined with fragile blood vessels.
		Recurrent nosebleeds may be a symptom of an underlying disorder such as high blood pressure, taking large doses of aspirin or blood-thinning medication, allergies, a bleeding disorder, or a tumor of the nose or sinuses.

	Treating Nosebleed (Epistaxis)
		Nosebleeds, (also known as epistaxis), are very common.
		The most common area for a nosebleed is near the front, (anterior), and in this common type blood begins flowing from the front part of the nose and exits from just one nostril.
		When the blood comes from deep in the nose, (posterior bleed), and flows down the back of the mouth and throat, regardless of the victim's position, it is usually caused by sports- or accident-related injury or occurs as a result of high blood pressure, and requires treatment from a physician.

	Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Biography - AOL Music
		Topics such as crackpot apocalypse theories, homophobia and misogyny, drug conspiracies, mind control, rampant capitalism and consumerism, and bio-terrorism have all surfaced in their songs; and are often addressed in ambiguous, free-associative ways, interspersed with plenty of tasteless scatological outbursts, sometimes with a humorous slant and sometimes not.
		Following a few split and EP releases and a couple of lineup shifts, Agoraphobic Nosebleed's first "full-length" -- the 26-song, 19-minute Honky Reduction -- came out in 1998 on Relapse Records and was recorded by the lineup of Hull and vocalist/electronics manipulator Jay Randall.
		For The Poacher Diaries, Agoraphobic Nosebleed's lineup was expanded to include a second vocalist, J.R. Hayes (also the lead vocalist for Pig Destroyer).
