Today we learned: - There are air ducts inside our noses - It has floor heating - It ain't brick house, but a bouncy castle, - There's a fluffy rug all over it.
When I was a kid, there was this one time that I was so bothered about having a stuffed nose that I just started blowing and blowing my nose. I said to myself that I wouldn't stop until those canals were clear and I could breathe normally again. So after some ten minutes of blowing my nose, this humungous booger, the size of a pinkie, comes flying off and I felt instant relieve. It was the most satisfying feeling I have ever felt in relation to my nostrils and I still hold this memory close to my heart.
Everyone thanking the guy whose teaching us all about the anatomy of the nose but how about a big thanks to whomever died and left their head to science
I also live in salt lake city. I've been getting nosebleeds on a weekly basis ever since i moved here and it's a joy to understand more about how that works. Thank you!
This happened to a lady I know recently. Her nosebleed wouldn't stop and she lost a lot of blood. They had to cauterize it electrically. She apparently tilted her head back because over the course of the hours she suffered with it, she had a stomach full of clots that she threw up into a plastic bag. When I saw her that evening she was extra pale and tired. Her took her two weeks to feel normal energy.
I had so many nose bleeds throughout my childhood that I constantly feared that at some point I would run out of blood and die. Those were some dark times
@man of man one time I had such a big nose bleed when I was a kid and I accidently blew air out of my nose then so much blood came out and my mom was like, OMG WHAT HAPPENED DUMBASS?!?
I felt compelled to watch this, as I was just picking my nose as I saw it. (It's not a daily occurrence, just when sick sometimes things need a hand that blowing can't give)
I had a nosebleed in school one time that just wouldn’t let up. I went to the nurse’s office and was there for 2 hours while she treated me. I had never been there that long so it was the first time I had noticed so many kids coming in for very minor injuries. One girl came in after recess with a cut asking to go home because she was “bleeding”. Just then, the nurse swapped the mini tampon things (no idea what they’re actually called) in my nose for the 4th time and a whole bunch of blood came gushing out. She said to the girl, “That’s not bleeding, _this_ is bleeding.” The girl just gave the shocked Pikachu face and went back to class. I’ll never forget that moment 😂
@@AllenTax That was going to be the next step, but the bleeding finally subsided by the time my mom came to the school so she just took me home. The girl who came in specifically pointed out a little cut on her elbow when she said she was bleeding.
I've suffered from chronic nosebleeds since I was a kid. I've had my nasal cavity cauterized twice in my adult life to help prevent it. This is the kind of video I've been hoping for to learn more about my nose and why it bleeds. Thank you!
I had nosebleeds as a kid really often, but not excessively a lot of blood loss. My Dad did also. Docs told him when he got old enough and was able to donate blood, it would help tremendously stop nosebleeds, or at least slow them down. So I started giving blood when I was 18, and in my Senior year of high school, the Red Cross Blood Mobile came to our school. No more nosebleeds after that.
@@amythomas1124 that's good to hear. Unfortunately I can't give blood because my veins are too small /I don't have enough flow so they reject me every time.
Dude same here!!!! Chronic nosebleeds for 32 years and I just 5 months ago finally got it fixed after 5 attempts. Silver nitrate didn’t work. Going under and getting it cauterized via electric didn’t work…. Finally I found a doctor in Orlando who said it was some kind of granuloma and basically cut a bunch of stuff out of my nose and I don’t know how but he fixed it! I’m so damn happy!!!! No more episodes in public that are extremely embarrassing! No more waking up to huge blood stains! Oh man if only I’d found this guy years ago
I remember getting a nosebleed randomly while walking around in Arizona. I'd never been to the desert until this point and wasn't used to dry heat. I remember my dad trying to tell me to lean back as my mom ran to a store to get tissues. Something inside me knew that didn't sound right. Glad to see I was right even 8 years ago
@@skyetheuniversalspy its fine, it wont harm you as much as ingesting all the blood. at worst it can feel a bit uncomfortable because the blood can get sticky. its better than ingesting the blood and throwing up.
I moved to Michigan during a drought. I know, odd that MI had a drought. Every day rapidly built up big dry crusts; that's when I started picking my nose.
Man i wish this man was my highschool teacher. He seems energetic and extremely willing to teach us something new and makes the viewer WANT to pay attention. Im subbing😭
I was waiting for a video game to download and it was finished 5 mins ago💀 I ended up watching the whole thing. He definitely caught my attention with how he talks. Probably why it’s so interesting
That's because he's not in the setting of idiot, self absorbed teenagers who talks shit and feel they're untouchable so they believe they can do what they want. Majority of teachers are like this in the beginning. Some keep that energy while others succumb to the sheer exhaustion of trying to teach 80+ teenagers throughout their day.
Here's a mini horror story for those who hate nose bleeds: Years ago I used to pick my nose quite frequently, but my nose was very sensitive. Almost every time I would pick my nose, it started to bleed. This one time my nose began to bleed, so my mother told me to lean back and wait for awhile. I remember tasting the iron in the blood thinking it tasted like keys. After a long while, my stomach couldn't hold it anymore and I threw it all up. All of it. I was leaning against the toilet crying as blood was coming out. I knew it was the blood from my nose, but there was so much I was horrified!
Happened to me too a long time ago lol. I was absolutely horrified, and thought I was dying. I always lean forward now. I also have nose bleeds abt every other day (I’ve gone to the doctor abt it and I’m gonna get my nose cauterized) so I’m pretty used to that stufff

As an allergy sufferer, I'd love to see a video like this giving a better look into different sinuses, their function and why do they get inflamed so quickly :)
I have clinically diagnosed Pansinusitis, which is worse than Chronic sinusitis. When my sinuses get infected by pollen or saharian dust, I can sneeze like 6 times in a row regularly and with a runny nose for more than 24 hours, ur head feels like you have a fever, it sucks
I would like to know more about sinuses too. Like why the heck some times I can't breath through my nose when I lay down. Or when I'm sick they pinch shut. Why does my body try to suffocate me????
Don’t ever lean your head back when your nose bleeds. I always thought that was what you had to do, but that just causes the blood to go to the back of your throat and you can either: Choke, swallow it and have the blood go into your stomach, and then literally vomit the blood back up. Lean your head forward so that the blood can clot. You just need to be careful pulling out the clot so it doesn’t start bleeding again.
Thank you for this video! Last year I had a series of what I called catastrophic nosebleeds. In the space of about a month, I had 7 of them. The first one happened when I was in the hospital visiting a relative. I was suiting up to go into her room (Covid protocols) when my nose started bleeding profusely. Long story short, *I* ended up in the emergency room! After doing the pinching/leaning forward, because yes, it was flowing down my throat badly, eventually things congealed enough to stop the bleed. After 2 more bleeds I went to an ENT doctor and got a portion cauterized. After 2 MORE bleeds, they stopped. Turns out it was partly due to extreme dryness/heat (I'm a delicate daffodil) and NSAIDs! I can't do those as a preventive for heart attack or stroke. OH! I was also losing about 1/2 to a cup of blood every single bleed. Anyway, all this is to ask if you can do a video on the various causes of the deep inner bleeds (posterior??) and why cauterizing does and does not work? Thanks! I'm totally loving all your various videos...AND the fact that you use real cadavers.
Same like i did it sense childhood.. and nothing has happened to me.... No nose bleeds or anything.... I guess cause, im not as tough when i dig my nose...

After 41 years and picking my nose at the first opportunity of my conscious awakening. I have made my nose immune to nosebleeds and infections it seems. I've even upgraded my pickings from fingers to using steel rods. Though I think I need to upgrade to diamond rods soon since the steel rods break before my nose.
You killed someone, put their head in preservant and then sawed it in two just so you could explain to us why picking our noses is dangerous? Respect brother!
One time, I was in the shower and my nose was STUFFY, so I blew my nose as hard as I could, refusing to stop or back down. I NEEDED my nose to be clear once again. And so, I blew my nose until suddenly, I and half the shower was just SPLATTERED with blood. Pretty shocking, but luckily I was in the shower. At least my nose was cleared.
It's a pleasure to be able to follow accounts as you are, where learning is easier and the incentive to search to understand how things work is clear and entertaining ❤.
It’s just so odd. Like that was a person. They lived a long and probably good life. I hope their remains are treated with utmost respect, and are respected for allowing their remains to be used in this way
I have an iron deficiency and often have nosebleeds. I loved the knowledge on this. I tell people not to lean back during a nosebleed. Lean forward, pinch nostrils and pinch at the top of the nose. My nosebleeds take a long time to stop, but I’ve only been to the hospital once.
Y’all guys should do a video on vertigo and the calcium crystals we have in our inner ear tubes and how that effects our balance when they get out of place!
...and how some doctors reach that diagnosis incorrectly, so you're left walking staggered and feeling like you're on a boat for over a year waiting for an ENT to have a peek. Rant over lol.
Yeah, I hate that feeling of my head spinning. Sometimes it feels TOO intense and lasts for a few hours and I cannot get up in fear I'll fall or faint.
@@Akotski-ys9rr I thought that too, but then I started reading about how ppl donate their bodies to science to be studied like that! It's a very noble decision to give up your body like that
My nose is made of steel, I've picked it pretty much everyday since I was 4 and from what I can remember I never had a nose bleed. Even had countless times where I would scrape the inside of my nose and it still didn't bleed. The only time my nose ever did bleed was when I was really sick and was constantly twisting toilet paper in my nose, I was around 7 when this happened.
For 20 years, I have been told to tilt my head back to keep the blood inside and stop the bleeding faster. Well, now I know that that might not be the best decision. Thank you for a such informative video about the nose.
I had a lot of nosebleeds as a kid, and every single time, I kept trying to make it all come out until I'd face "the final boss" which was usually this huge bloody booger responsible for the nose bleed (as far as I knew). I kept blowing my nose / picking it using tissue while bleeding like hell until I finally got sight of that bloody booger sticking out. Then I'd start the battle against it using Q Tips / tissue until it came out. Whenever that big bloody booger finally came out, the nosebleed instantly stopped. Can anyone explain wtf this was?
Maybe the mucous from the booger kept the blood from drying up and plugging the bleed. Then once it gets some air, the clotting starts. But I'm not a nose doctor, so don't quote me
As a QMA ( qualified medication aide) if a resident has frequent nose bleeds we would be very concerned about their blood pressure. I would take their vitals immediately when doing anything for the resident. That can be a first sign of a possible high reading.
Fun fact, kids that pick their nose and eat the booger in general can be healthier. This impunity boost also goes for children that grew up around farm animals being healthier because of being exposed to more germs. Likewise for children that are allowed to crawl around and taste what they pickup. In general, they are healthier.
Hmmmmmmmm, maybe that’s why my whole 23 years of life I have never been sick. Been eating boggers before kindergarten. It’s funny cause I only do it cause my fingers are just so convient. I mean it fits right in my nose perfectly, coincidence I think not
From when I was around 10-15 years old I was prone to getting random nosebleeds. Ones where the blood would just drip heavily, and it would end when I either pulled out or swallowed the clot. I didn’t even need to pick my nose, it would just happen. Looking back I assume it was part of growing pains, structures in my face were changing as I was growing. The last time it happened like this, I was 15 and I was in the plane about to take off from Korea to the Philippines, which was the second leg of our trip which started in DC, so I think it was triggered by changing air pressure. But since then I never had those severe nose bleeds. I’ll get blood every now and then if I blew my nose or picked really hard, but nothing like when I was a kid. That was almost 30 years ago now.
My brother randomly started getting bad nosebleeds and they became more and more frequent. It was a lot of blood and it would take forever to stop bleeding. He went to ENT and they cauterized a vein in his nose that they said was causing it, three separate times. I literally googled all his symptoms and everything was pointing to him possibly having nasopharyngeal cancer which is pretty rare. A week or so later, he was still having frequent nosebleeds and ended up not being able to breathe. I took him to the ER and told them about the nosebleeds, the ENT cauterizing a vein 3 times, and that I thought it was nasopharyngeal cancer. That was exactly what they ended up diagnosing him with in the hospital and it was pretty progressed. He should have sued the ENT that never thought to do anything but cauterize the vein.
@@notlucas6859 For the most part, yes. He has some issues he has had to live with due to chemo/radiation, having had a trach during that time, etc. Other than that, he's alright. This was about 12 years ago and it hasn't came back.
I grew up with aggressive nosebleeds and had my nose cauterized atleast 3 times. Never heard anything about cancer but I dealt with horrible random nosebleeds for about 17 years and now finally have maybe grown out of them idk
As a child i've had many nose bleeds. 80% of them were just bc my nose was either dry or the membrane was weak (later on I got my nose chemically cauterized to prevent them because I got them so often it was affecting my life). There was one time as a child that I was bleeding so bad that I was coughing up congealed blood so I leaned forward for about 20 minutes instead of back (which is what I was told to do at that age, learning now you shouldn't). All of a sudden my left eye starts getting really 'cloudy' and I look up at the mirror to see my eye filling up with blood and then blood coming down from my eye. As a kid I felt like I was in a horror movie. This only happened to me one time as a kid in middle school (after that was when I got my nose cauterized by a dr) but oddly enough it happened to me again just earlier today hence my curiosity on nose bleeds again. Today blood was dripping down my throat so I started leaning forward while also pinching my nose tight to hopefully stop the bleeding but instead my vision went cloudy. Looked in the mirror and sure enough blood was coming out of my eyes. So basically I had to hold my head straight and hope for the best. I pinched my nose for about an hour and all I could feel is blood filling the inside of my nose all the way up and out of my eyes while also gagging on huge goopy chunks of blood. :) I started getting dizzy I was loosing so much blood. . I got it to stop eventually. . not fun. I think I need to get my nose cauterized again . . .
I normally only get them in the middle of winter or allergy season but when I do I push on the hard part of my nose but dont plug it all the way with toilet paper or a tissue so the blood can come out my nose but i still can stop the bleeding. Try that next time you get one so you dont swallow so much blood.
@@spyder027 Yea I was trying lol Thanks for the help! My nose has always been extremely sensitive as a kid which is why I needed dr intervention on it. I pinched basically my whole nose to try and stop the bleeding. i would hold my nose for a good 10 minutes then let up to let the blood pour out because I would feel the pressure of the blood pooling up. I almost had to go to the hospital because I couldn't get the bleeding to stop before. idk man I think my nose is just a special kind of extreme lol
Nosebleeds for me are pretty standard it just starts bleeding and I put some cotton in it to stop it. But if one day my eye started filling with blood because of it I would probably start having a panic attack because that doesn't seem normal
The nose is one of my favorite pieces of facial anatomy. Too bad it’s connected to our abysmally engineered sinuses. If you’re plagued with the common cold or sinus infections, blame the sinus drains that are working against gravity and our flat faces that compress all that plumbing into a breeding ground for infection.
I am finally starting to understand why preserved cadaveric models are so important. The uniform grey/ brown always threw me off with many areas- but the nasal/ sinus structure is VERY hard to visualize- even understanding CT views and endoscopy.
When I was 15 I had a posterior nosebleed as a complication of a turbinate reduction/septoplasty, and it was awful. Blood gushing everywhere. I had instinctively kept my head pitched forward the whole time though, to prevent the blood from rushing down the back of my throat, but in the ER one of the doctors wanted to tilt my head back to see up into the nasal cavity- big mistake there. A massive blood clot broke off and went down my throat, luckily it was big enough that I started gagging and coughed it back up. I felt like I'd just coughed up my heart; the clot must have been filling the entire nasal cavity. They ended up needing to put some extra packing into my nose to stop the bleed, and the surgery recovery took much longer as a result. One of the worst things I've ever experienced.
wait you're not supposed to tilt your head backwards when having a nosebleed? goddamn my parents taught me to always tilt my head back when i have a nosebleed
@@teepussi6161 It's really confusing, some people say you should tilt your head backwards while others tell you to tilt it forward. Tilting it forward prevents the blood from going down your throat, but tilting it backwards makes the bleeding stop sooner? I tilt it forward just to be sure, it's dangerous to keep swallowing blood.
Every summer without fail I can bleed 5+ times a day on the hotter days above 30 degrees Celsius. Similarly, I experience bleeds when there are significant changes to atmospheric pressure. My mum and brother are the same, we seem to be quite sensitive to environmental changes in temperature and pressure. Fortunately we never feel faint or ill during the bleeds so I guess that's our silver lining.
I’m the exact same way, last summer we were on vacation, and I dipped my head underwater, and then I come up, and there’s just blood flowing out, and the only thing wrong with me (besides the bleeding) was how I was just pissed off the whole time because of how dumb noses are sometimes, didn’t feel nauseous or faint or nothin
I was born in industrial northern NJ during the 40s when all kinds of crud was belched into the air from all the factories and chemical plants in the area. Most people had trouble breathing, but my nose was clogged to the point of being useless. I couldn't move any air in or out of it and had to breathe through my mouth. I still have very little sense of smell and learned how to taste odors instead of smelling them. Strangely, I never had any nosebleeds, though.
@@ethhics The worst part about being a mouth-breather as a little kid was the assumptions people made about my level of intelligence. I'll tell you, it was extremely satisfying to see the looks on their faces when I'd start telling them about what I had read in the World Book (when I was 6 years old).
if this guy was a teacher for every single student in the world, we would be in such a better place as a human race i feel. Ive never been able to be more understanding of what someone is teaching me about something i have absolutely no idea about. Good job sir.
I pick my nose constantly. Mostly because I have a deviated septum. My lifestyle is mostly spent struggling to breath through my nose. Constant sniffling and snorting, blowing my nose a few times an hour, or giving up and breathing through my mouth. I got a surgery to correct it, but its relapsed. With my nose, the septum is deviated to one side. Your nose switches dominance throughout the day, swelling one side of the septum to limit airflow to one nostril. This asymmetry in your nasal cavity provides a way to get lots of air, while letting scents linger in the restricted airflow cavity for better identification. Atleast if your nose isnt already blocking one side as is. Whenever it swells my right side, that nostril is useless. Unless there is no mucus, runny or dried, I cannot breath through it. And if I'm getting mucus on that side, its on the other side too. Because that side is so pinched, all the mucus is being released on my other nostril, making it unusable as well. So unless I want to breath out of my mouth (Which is a goddamn chore), I got to start picking. Tissues don't do the job good enough, believe me. I have emptied enough boxes my lifetime to know their effectiveness. Nosebleeds are rare for me. I do occasionally scrape the inside of my nose on accident. And have had some portions get irritated and sore from my finger rubbing against it. But on the whole it does pretty well. Practice makes perfect I suppose. But digging that mucus out is the only way I can hope to breath normally most of the time. I get such little airflow in I cannot talk and breath and the same time, and get winded just saying a sentence. It also makes my ears miserable since all the sniffling I do trying to get the mucus out of my nose and into my throat really fucks with my ears. You know that popping noise in your ears? Thats your eustachian tubes adjusting the pressure in your ear. They are in the back of your mouth, and sniffling opens them up. Maybe not noticeably if your ears are well pressured, and your nose is fairly clear. But if you have too much pressure on your ears, and a completely clogged nose, it feels like they are trying to vacuum themselves out like a liquid dropper syringe. Then I have to deal with the agony of my ears slowly releasing to a bearable pressure, alongside huffing air to breath.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it can't relapse. They literally either remove parts to make things more open, or break and reset--which makes me cringe to think about. Have you considered having another doctor take a look? You may need another surgery, and this time it may help. :( I had a deviated septum till I was 30. My ENT didn't splint and pack, because he didn't break it. He removed parts of the bone that were blocking things. I don't know exactly how he did it, just that sometimes, I have to work to get stuff out when I blow my nose because my septum is now curvy. Great way to get gunk up there and not know. It can be gross, but overall it's helped my breathing so, so much. BTW, breathe is with an e. :)
@@AmyAndThePup The possibility of relapse after surgery is 50%. I do need another surgery, its slightly better than what it was before, but its almost back to square one. They did remove some turbinate, but thats part of the sinus, not septum. The process is realignment and structural support. Much like with braces, while you are realigning tooth and altering bone, and then forcing it in the desired place. Potential of relapse does exist. Bone is less likely to relapse (Except for the jaw with teeth, it will gladly relapse), but cartilage will happily fold back into its curve if it doesnt want to stay straight.
I have exactly what you have. On top of that, I've had nasal polyp surgery removal twice. I may need another one in the future. Also, I believe this is another reason why I have ringing in the ears. Anyway, have you tried using Neilmed sinus rinse? It comes with saline. It helps a lot for me. It flushes out a lot of germs, etc. Especially with this covid thing going on, it'd flush out the viruses clinging in the sinuses before it makes it way to the lungs.
@@dwain415 Ive used generic saline rinse. It works great for 12 hours, but then my body gets back to its regular amount of mucus. I use it before bed, breathe clearly, and wake up clogged. Or preferably, I use it after I wake up, and go the rest of the day fairly unclogged. I dont know how much more effective preblended saline is, I use salinized packets on bottled water. Id do this every day, but sinus rinses are about the most miserable thing to do. Its borderline more comfortable to go the day struggling to breath, than shooting water up your sinuses.
I have this as well, broke my nose when I was a kid and It sucks because I already had very slim nostrils. The winter months are both heaven and hell, the cold fresh air makes it feel like I can breathe normal again, but colds do happen :/ sometimes I even have to push my cheeks away from my nose to get more air (if that makes sense) anyway I got alot of nosebleeds as a kid because of my very quick grow spurth, and I guess the picking didn't help. I also get a sinus infection frequently because of my deviated septum, basically some sort of moisture clogs up underneath the skin in between my eyebrows above my nose. And it makes me tired all day, even hurts when I bend down. Is this normal? Does that happen to you too? I'm hoping to get surgery soon!
I’ve had such bad nose bleeds that they would bleed for a couple hours and I would be so dizzy I couldn’t stand. Dealt with this for years. (They didn’t start off that bad, that was the last couple years) Finally a dr cauterized a few areas. Years and years later.. my daughter would have about half as bad of nose bleeds and she had hers cauterized about a year and a half ago, ironically by the same dr. I was 16 when mine was. My daughter is 12 now. Yes it hurt a little. Mainly stunk. Lol imagine that. I eventually became anemic over it. It would happen at least once a week.
i think that's what's happening to me 😭 my nose bleeds are so bad that i'll get lightheaded, i got one in the shower and almost passed out and now i think losing all that blood really messed me up i have to stand up in slow motion now basically or else the room will go black
Damn, for hours?! Having a nosebleed more than half an hour is already dangerous! If you fell dizzy it means you lost a lot of blood, if it ever happens to you and you feel bad just go to the emergency room please
@@grieferoncamera4600 I had the same thing happen to me as a kid once. Walked home from school, sat down, and it just started gushing. I didn’t even pick it. I tried to lean forward and hold it, but it was bleeding so much that it was still backing up into my throat. After like 10 minutes mom finally found me and realized the trash can I was bleeding into had way too much in it to be a normal nosebleed, so I too had to go to the hospital to get it cauterized. Not everything is so simple as it seems.
These are the kinds of videos I wish they’d show us in school, it’s got a good hook and goes into some anatomy and it gets all tied together. It’s interesting, I guess. Thanks for the advice tho
Throughout my whole childhood I watched my grandfather blow his nose, constantly, I mean CONSTANTLY. He always had a handkerchief on hand and let out the most loud, earth shattering sneezes known to man. When he died, my grandma talked about that throughout their 65 years of marriage he never once had a sinus infection. W grandpa
Love that I casually learn complex anatomy every week with you guys. UA-cam has finally replaced the educational and entertainment value the Discovery and History channels once had and has been sorely missed!
My elderly Mom got that booger out so she could breathe better. Ended up bleeding and it bled, a lot and wouldn't stop. She went to the hospital ER. They fixed it but it was scary. You did this so well, I did learn a lot. I'm on Warfarin and when I bleed it can be excessive. Be well !
Nose-pickers are one good reason I always wash vegetables when I get home, not just for pesticides, but all the people digging for buried treasure on the way to the grocery store and then handling the produce. Think of how many nasty steering wheels there are from commuters picking their nose. 😬
I’ve always wondered why “sinus” massages on the forehead and scalp actually help relieve sinus pressure? Aren’t sinuses just cavities in the scull? If so how does it help relieve the pressure and mucus? Is it blood flow, pressure points, muscular relief? Any further insights on sinus pain/pressure?
There are many slightly flexible bone plates in the skull. If it was completely solid, a solid collision would shatter more easily, another example are the wrinkles in the brain, giving an elastic/xylophone effect, to prevent a shockwave from causing too much damage. A sinus massage stretches the skin, tissues and plates around the sinuses helping relieve built up pressure from the hollow airways.
I do occassionally pick it when there's an actual blockage there that I can't remove by blowing my nose... but I haven't had a nose bleed as a result of that since I was a kid.
Lifehack: if you have that one "stuffy" nostril that barely passes any air, yet doesn't seem to have anything accessible obstructing airflow (e.g boogers) pinch both nostrils and try to breathe in and out through your nose. Do this a couple of times and when you release the stuffiness will be gone. Apparently this fools your body into thinking you're so stuffed you can't breathe which triggers some internal self preserving system that quickly clears up whatever was obstructing your airflow. Disclaimer: my explanation is broscience and I have no idea if this could potentially be bad for you.
It could be that the pressure difference you create forces out any stuck mucus at the back of the nose. It might also increase the blood flow around the nasal conches, helping to decongest the area.
This is called the Valsalva maneuver. It is used to equalize ear pressure by people who work in environments with rapid air pressure changes, like divers and pilots. But I guess it works for the nose too, since the middle ear is connected to the nose canal (that’s sure not the exact name but I forgot). You exhale while blocking the way for air out of the body, so the pressure simply stretches the airways as wide as they can get.
I live in Colorado where the air has practically zero moisture during the winter, so I always get at least 2 to 3 nosebleeds out of nowhere during the winter, even when I don’t blow my nose aggressively, and thanks to a new medication I started not too long ago for my ADHD, I’ve noticed that my nose has started “producing” boogers a lot more often than it used to
Nosepicking is an incredibly rewarding endeavour. I find it even more rewarding than managing to get a hair from off the roof of my mouth, and into my fingers, even.
Yeah i mean when I've got hardened boogers in there, like big ones I mean what am i supposed to do? Blow it out with airflow so poor it couldn't blow out a candle? I'm taking the fucker out.

When I was a kid, there was this one time that I was so bothered about having a stuffed nose that I just started blowing and blowing my nose. I said to myself that I wouldn't stop until those canals were clear and I could breathe normally again. So after some ten minutes of blowing my nose, this humungous booger, the size of a pinkie, comes flying off and I felt instant relieve. It was the most satisfying feeling I have ever felt in relation to my nostrils and I still hold this memory close to my heart.

This happened to a lady I know recently. Her nosebleed wouldn't stop and she lost a lot of blood. They had to cauterize it electrically. She apparently tilted her head back because over the course of the hours she suffered with it, she had a stomach full of clots that she threw up into a plastic bag. When I saw her that evening she was extra pale and tired. Her took her two weeks to feel normal energy.
Did they figure out what was wrong with her blood that it wouldn’t stop? I hope she’s okay.

I felt compelled to watch this, as I was just picking my nose as I saw it. (It's not a daily occurrence, just when sick sometimes things need a hand that blowing can't give)
the last part sounds terrible out of context, but true
I had a nosebleed in school one time that just wouldn’t let up. I went to the nurse’s office and was there for 2 hours while she treated me. I had never been there that long so it was the first time I had noticed so many kids coming in for very minor injuries.
One girl came in after recess with a cut asking to go home because she was “bleeding”. Just then, the nurse swapped the mini tampon things (no idea what they’re actually called) in my nose for the 4th time and a whole bunch of blood came gushing out. She said to the girl, “That’s not bleeding, _this_ is bleeding.” The girl just gave the shocked Pikachu face and went back to class. I’ll never forget that moment 😂
Sounds like you should have been to the hospital. The girl might have been experiencing for first time bleeding down below.

I had nosebleeds as a kid really often, but not excessively a lot of blood loss. My Dad did also. Docs told him when he got old enough and was able to donate blood, it would help tremendously stop nosebleeds, or at least slow them down. So I started giving blood when I was 18, and in my Senior year of high school, the Red Cross Blood Mobile came to our school. No more nosebleeds after that.

Here's a mini horror story for those who hate nose bleeds:
Years ago I used to pick my nose quite frequently, but my nose was very sensitive. Almost every time I would pick my nose, it started to bleed. This one time my nose began to bleed, so my mother told me to lean back and wait for awhile. I remember tasting the iron in the blood thinking it tasted like keys. After a long while, my stomach couldn't hold it anymore and I threw it all up. All of it. I was leaning against the toilet crying as blood was coming out. I knew it was the blood from my nose, but there was so much I was horrified!
Oh dear, I suppose both you and your mother learned something that day
Omg
oof that hard srry meh dude on the internet hope yah feel better :]
Happened to me too a long time ago lol. I was absolutely horrified, and thought I was dying. I always lean forward now. I also have nose bleeds abt every other day (I’ve gone to the doctor abt it and I’m gonna get my nose cauterized) so I’m pretty used to that stufff

Don’t ever lean your head back when your nose bleeds. I always thought that was what you had to do, but that just causes the blood to go to the back of your throat and you can either: Choke, swallow it and have the blood go into your stomach, and then literally vomit the blood back up. Lean your head forward so that the blood can clot. You just need to be careful pulling out the clot so it doesn’t start bleeding again.
I take my head back most times but ive never vomitted blood up again?
@@Darxo i've done that as well and i haven't thrown up lol, i'm guessing we didn't bleed enough for that to happen

Thank you for this video! Last year I had a series of what I called catastrophic nosebleeds. In the space of about a month, I had 7 of them. The first one happened when I was in the hospital visiting a relative. I was suiting up to go into her room (Covid protocols) when my nose started bleeding profusely. Long story short, *I* ended up in the emergency room! After doing the pinching/leaning forward, because yes, it was flowing down my throat badly, eventually things congealed enough to stop the bleed. After 2 more bleeds I went to an ENT doctor and got a portion cauterized. After 2 MORE bleeds, they stopped. Turns out it was partly due to extreme dryness/heat (I'm a delicate daffodil) and NSAIDs! I can't do those as a preventive for heart attack or stroke. OH! I was also losing about 1/2 to a cup of blood every single bleed. Anyway, all this is to ask if you can do a video on the various causes of the deep inner bleeds (posterior??) and why cauterizing does and does not work? Thanks! I'm totally loving all your various videos...AND the fact that you use real cadavers.
for the first nosebleed.. well atleast you were already in the hospital

I had a lot of nosebleeds as a kid, and every single time, I kept trying to make it all come out until I'd face "the final boss" which was usually this huge bloody booger responsible for the nose bleed (as far as I knew). I kept blowing my nose / picking it using tissue while bleeding like hell until I finally got sight of that bloody booger sticking out. Then I'd start the battle against it using Q Tips / tissue until it came out. Whenever that big bloody booger finally came out, the nosebleed instantly stopped. Can anyone explain wtf this was?

@@Sak-zo1ui interesting. I dont understand how a single bloody booger can be responsible for all that blood
Maybe the mucous from the booger kept the blood from drying up and plugging the bleed. Then once it gets some air, the clotting starts.
But I'm not a nose doctor, so don't quote me
As a QMA ( qualified medication aide) if a resident has frequent nose bleeds we would be very concerned about their blood pressure. I would take their vitals immediately when doing anything for the resident. That can be a first sign of a possible high reading.

From when I was around 10-15 years old I was prone to getting random nosebleeds. Ones where the blood would just drip heavily, and it would end when I either pulled out or swallowed the clot. I didn’t even need to pick my nose, it would just happen. Looking back I assume it was part of growing pains, structures in my face were changing as I was growing. The last time it happened like this, I was 15 and I was in the plane about to take off from Korea to the Philippines, which was the second leg of our trip which started in DC, so I think it was triggered by changing air pressure. But since then I never had those severe nose bleeds. I’ll get blood every now and then if I blew my nose or picked really hard, but nothing like when I was a kid. That was almost 30 years ago now.
My brother randomly started getting bad nosebleeds and they became more and more frequent. It was a lot of blood and it would take forever to stop bleeding. He went to ENT and they cauterized a vein in his nose that they said was causing it, three separate times. I literally googled all his symptoms and everything was pointing to him possibly having nasopharyngeal cancer which is pretty rare. A week or so later, he was still having frequent nosebleeds and ended up not being able to breathe. I took him to the ER and told them about the nosebleeds, the ENT cauterizing a vein 3 times, and that I thought it was nasopharyngeal cancer. That was exactly what they ended up diagnosing him with in the hospital and it was pretty progressed. He should have sued the ENT that never thought to do anything but cauterize the vein.
is he alright now?
@@notlucas6859 For the most part, yes. He has some issues he has had to live with due to chemo/radiation, having had a trach during that time, etc. Other than that, he's alright. This was about 12 years ago and it hasn't came back.
@@omgoopz Damn that's terrifying. I hope you and your brother stay healthy!
@@ethhics Thank you! Same goes for you! 😁
I grew up with aggressive nosebleeds and had my nose cauterized atleast 3 times. Never heard anything about cancer but I dealt with horrible random nosebleeds for about 17 years and now finally have maybe grown out of them idk
As a child i've had many nose bleeds. 80% of them were just bc my nose was either dry or the membrane was weak (later on I got my nose chemically cauterized to prevent them because I got them so often it was affecting my life). There was one time as a child that I was bleeding so bad that I was coughing up congealed blood so I leaned forward for about 20 minutes instead of back (which is what I was told to do at that age, learning now you shouldn't). All of a sudden my left eye starts getting really 'cloudy' and I look up at the mirror to see my eye filling up with blood and then blood coming down from my eye. As a kid I felt like I was in a horror movie. This only happened to me one time as a kid in middle school (after that was when I got my nose cauterized by a dr) but oddly enough it happened to me again just earlier today hence my curiosity on nose bleeds again.
Today blood was dripping down my throat so I started leaning forward while also pinching my nose tight to hopefully stop the bleeding but instead my vision went cloudy. Looked in the mirror and sure enough blood was coming out of my eyes. So basically I had to hold my head straight and hope for the best. I pinched my nose for about an hour and all I could feel is blood filling the inside of my nose all the way up and out of my eyes while also gagging on huge goopy chunks of blood. :) I started getting dizzy I was loosing so much blood. . I got it to stop eventually. .
not fun. I think I need to get my nose cauterized again . . .
I normally only get them in the middle of winter or allergy season but when I do I push on the hard part of my nose but dont plug it all the way with toilet paper or a tissue so the blood can come out my nose but i still can stop the bleeding. Try that next time you get one so you dont swallow so much blood.
@@spyder027 Yea I was trying lol Thanks for the help! My nose has always been extremely sensitive as a kid which is why I needed dr intervention on it. I pinched basically my whole nose to try and stop the bleeding. i would hold my nose for a good 10 minutes then let up to let the blood pour out because I would feel the pressure of the blood pooling up. I almost had to go to the hospital because I couldn't get the bleeding to stop before. idk man I think my nose is just a special kind of extreme lol
i just pictured the blood coming out of your eye and now i have nightmares :(
Nosebleeds for me are pretty standard it just starts bleeding and I put some cotton in it to stop it. But if one day my eye started filling with blood because of it I would probably start having a panic attack because that doesn't seem normal
@@mintymonkey1758 Tear ducts are plumbed to drain that way.
The nose is one of my favorite pieces of facial anatomy. Too bad it’s connected to our abysmally engineered sinuses. If you’re plagued with the common cold or sinus infections, blame the sinus drains that are working against gravity and our flat faces that compress all that plumbing into a breeding ground for infection.

Pls keep quiet
I am finally starting to understand why preserved cadaveric models are so important. The uniform grey/ brown always threw me off with many areas- but the nasal/ sinus structure is VERY hard to visualize- even understanding CT views and endoscopy.
When I was 15 I had a posterior nosebleed as a complication of a turbinate reduction/septoplasty, and it was awful. Blood gushing everywhere. I had instinctively kept my head pitched forward the whole time though, to prevent the blood from rushing down the back of my throat, but in the ER one of the doctors wanted to tilt my head back to see up into the nasal cavity- big mistake there. A massive blood clot broke off and went down my throat, luckily it was big enough that I started gagging and coughed it back up. I felt like I'd just coughed up my heart; the clot must have been filling the entire nasal cavity. They ended up needing to put some extra packing into my nose to stop the bleed, and the surgery recovery took much longer as a result. One of the worst things I've ever experienced.

oh god
wait you're not supposed to tilt your head backwards when having a nosebleed? goddamn my parents taught me to always tilt my head back when i have a nosebleed
@@teepussi6161 It's really confusing, some people say you should tilt your head backwards while others tell you to tilt it forward. Tilting it forward prevents the blood from going down your throat, but tilting it backwards makes the bleeding stop sooner? I tilt it forward just to be sure, it's dangerous to keep swallowing blood.
Every summer without fail I can bleed 5+ times a day on the hotter days above 30 degrees Celsius. Similarly, I experience bleeds when there are significant changes to atmospheric pressure. My mum and brother are the same, we seem to be quite sensitive to environmental changes in temperature and pressure. Fortunately we never feel faint or ill during the bleeds so I guess that's our silver lining.
Look up St George Nano Silver & put it in nose spray bottle. Continuous use will result in healing your nose & body.
@@rizwinumer9266 This person said "above 30°C", and that's considered hot in temperate regions. There's no need to annoy someone for that.
what is the normal relative humidity in your area? and in your home? humidity is the biggest factor of random nose bleeds
I’m the exact same way, last summer we were on vacation, and I dipped my head underwater, and then I come up, and there’s just blood flowing out, and the only thing wrong with me (besides the bleeding) was how I was just pissed off the whole time because of how dumb noses are sometimes, didn’t feel nauseous or faint or nothin
All i get is light headed. I suppose everyone has unique body alarms for when it rains? Lol
I was born in industrial northern NJ during the 40s when all kinds of crud was belched into the air from all the factories and chemical plants in the area. Most people had trouble breathing, but my nose was clogged to the point of being useless. I couldn't move any air in or out of it and had to breathe through my mouth. I still have very little sense of smell and learned how to taste odors instead of smelling them. Strangely, I never had any nosebleeds, though.
That’s just. Wow
A constantly stuffed nose sounds so horrible. I get headaches and become a bit woozy after a few hours when I have a stuffed nose, it's awful tbh
@@ethhics The worst part about being a mouth-breather as a little kid was the assumptions people made about my level of intelligence. I'll tell you, it was extremely satisfying to see the looks on their faces when I'd start telling them about what I had read in the World Book (when I was 6 years old).

I’ve never had a bloody nose in my life
I had no idea you guys were in Utah. Ever since I moved here from a more humid state, I get bloody noses all the time
I pick my nose constantly. Mostly because I have a deviated septum. My lifestyle is mostly spent struggling to breath through my nose. Constant sniffling and snorting, blowing my nose a few times an hour, or giving up and breathing through my mouth. I got a surgery to correct it, but its relapsed. With my nose, the septum is deviated to one side. Your nose switches dominance throughout the day, swelling one side of the septum to limit airflow to one nostril. This asymmetry in your nasal cavity provides a way to get lots of air, while letting scents linger in the restricted airflow cavity for better identification. Atleast if your nose isnt already blocking one side as is.
Whenever it swells my right side, that nostril is useless. Unless there is no mucus, runny or dried, I cannot breath through it. And if I'm getting mucus on that side, its on the other side too. Because that side is so pinched, all the mucus is being released on my other nostril, making it unusable as well. So unless I want to breath out of my mouth (Which is a goddamn chore), I got to start picking. Tissues don't do the job good enough, believe me. I have emptied enough boxes my lifetime to know their effectiveness. Nosebleeds are rare for me. I do occasionally scrape the inside of my nose on accident. And have had some portions get irritated and sore from my finger rubbing against it. But on the whole it does pretty well. Practice makes perfect I suppose.
But digging that mucus out is the only way I can hope to breath normally most of the time. I get such little airflow in I cannot talk and breath and the same time, and get winded just saying a sentence. It also makes my ears miserable since all the sniffling I do trying to get the mucus out of my nose and into my throat really fucks with my ears. You know that popping noise in your ears? Thats your eustachian tubes adjusting the pressure in your ear. They are in the back of your mouth, and sniffling opens them up. Maybe not noticeably if your ears are well pressured, and your nose is fairly clear. But if you have too much pressure on your ears, and a completely clogged nose, it feels like they are trying to vacuum themselves out like a liquid dropper syringe. Then I have to deal with the agony of my ears slowly releasing to a bearable pressure, alongside huffing air to breath.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it can't relapse. They literally either remove parts to make things more open, or break and reset--which makes me cringe to think about.
Have you considered having another doctor take a look? You may need another surgery, and this time it may help.
:(
I had a deviated septum till I was 30. My ENT didn't splint and pack, because he didn't break it. He removed parts of the bone that were blocking things. I don't know exactly how he did it, just that sometimes, I have to work to get stuff out when I blow my nose because my septum is now curvy. Great way to get gunk up there and not know. It can be gross, but overall it's helped my breathing so, so much.
BTW, breathe is with an e. :)
@@AmyAndThePup The possibility of relapse after surgery is 50%. I do need another surgery, its slightly better than what it was before, but its almost back to square one.
They did remove some turbinate, but thats part of the sinus, not septum. The process is realignment and structural support. Much like with braces, while you are realigning tooth and altering bone, and then forcing it in the desired place. Potential of relapse does exist. Bone is less likely to relapse (Except for the jaw with teeth, it will gladly relapse), but cartilage will happily fold back into its curve if it doesnt want to stay straight.
I have exactly what you have. On top of that, I've had nasal polyp surgery removal twice. I may need another one in the future. Also, I believe this is another reason why I have ringing in the ears. Anyway, have you tried using Neilmed sinus rinse? It comes with saline. It helps a lot for me. It flushes out a lot of germs, etc. Especially with this covid thing going on, it'd flush out the viruses clinging in the sinuses before it makes it way to the lungs.
@@dwain415 Ive used generic saline rinse. It works great for 12 hours, but then my body gets back to its regular amount of mucus. I use it before bed, breathe clearly, and wake up clogged. Or preferably, I use it after I wake up, and go the rest of the day fairly unclogged.
I dont know how much more effective preblended saline is, I use salinized packets on bottled water.
Id do this every day, but sinus rinses are about the most miserable thing to do. Its borderline more comfortable to go the day struggling to breath, than shooting water up your sinuses.
I have this as well, broke my nose when I was a kid and It sucks because I already had very slim nostrils. The winter months are both heaven and hell, the cold fresh air makes it feel like I can breathe normal again, but colds do happen :/ sometimes I even have to push my cheeks away from my nose to get more air (if that makes sense) anyway I got alot of nosebleeds as a kid because of my very quick grow spurth, and I guess the picking didn't help. I also get a sinus infection frequently because of my deviated septum, basically some sort of moisture clogs up underneath the skin in between my eyebrows above my nose. And it makes me tired all day, even hurts when I bend down. Is this normal? Does that happen to you too? I'm hoping to get surgery soon!
I’ve had such bad nose bleeds that they would bleed for a couple hours and I would be so dizzy I couldn’t stand. Dealt with this for years. (They didn’t start off that bad, that was the last couple years) Finally a dr cauterized a few areas. Years and years later.. my daughter would have about half as bad of nose bleeds and she had hers cauterized about a year and a half ago, ironically by the same dr. I was 16 when mine was. My daughter is 12 now.
Yes it hurt a little. Mainly stunk. Lol imagine that. I eventually became anemic over it. It would happen at least once a week.
i think that's what's happening to me 😭 my nose bleeds are so bad that i'll get lightheaded, i got one in the shower and almost passed out and now i think losing all that blood really messed me up i have to stand up in slow motion now basically or else the room will go black
Damn, for hours?! Having a nosebleed more than half an hour is already dangerous! If you fell dizzy it means you lost a lot of blood, if it ever happens to you and you feel bad just go to the emergency room please
don't you know how to hold a nose bleed
Shouldn’t have picked your nose so much
@@grieferoncamera4600 I had the same thing happen to me as a kid once. Walked home from school, sat down, and it just started gushing. I didn’t even pick it. I tried to lean forward and hold it, but it was bleeding so much that it was still backing up into my throat. After like 10 minutes mom finally found me and realized the trash can I was bleeding into had way too much in it to be a normal nosebleed, so I too had to go to the hospital to get it cauterized. Not everything is so simple as it seems.
These are the kinds of videos I wish they’d show us in school, it’s got a good hook and goes into some anatomy and it gets all tied together.
It’s interesting, I guess. Thanks for the advice tho
This and the animations
Throughout my whole childhood I watched my grandfather blow his nose, constantly, I mean CONSTANTLY. He always had a handkerchief on hand and let out the most loud, earth shattering sneezes known to man. When he died, my grandma talked about that throughout their 65 years of marriage he never once had a sinus infection. W grandpa

I remember a time when the advice for a bleeding nose was to pinch your nose closed, and tilt your head back lol.
I’ve always just stuck a tissue up there for a few minutes
Worse advice ever lol
Every gym teacher “tilt your head back “
yeah, we were told this when we were kids too
Probably because they don’t want you bleeding on their carpets
I started to pick my nose as soon as you reminded me of picking my nose
My elderly Mom got that booger out so she could breathe better. Ended up bleeding and it bled, a lot and wouldn't stop. She went to the hospital ER. They fixed it but it was scary. You did this so well, I did learn a lot. I'm on Warfarin and when I bleed it can be excessive. Be well !
Nose-pickers are one good reason I always wash vegetables when I get home, not just for pesticides, but all the people digging for buried treasure on the way to the grocery store and then handling the produce. Think of how many nasty steering wheels there are from commuters picking their nose. 😬

@@KillerChickn I've heard eating dirt does the same thing, but no thanks to both.
@@12thDecember Nutritious dirt... mmmm....
I’ve always wondered why “sinus” massages on the forehead and scalp actually help relieve sinus pressure? Aren’t sinuses just cavities in the scull? If so how does it help relieve the pressure and mucus? Is it blood flow, pressure points, muscular relief? Any further insights on sinus pain/pressure?
There are many slightly flexible bone plates in the skull. If it was completely solid, a solid collision would shatter more easily, another example are the wrinkles in the brain, giving an elastic/xylophone effect, to prevent a shockwave from causing too much damage. A sinus massage stretches the skin, tissues and plates around the sinuses helping relieve built up pressure from the hollow airways.
I do occassionally pick it when there's an actual blockage there that I can't remove by blowing my nose... but I haven't had a nose bleed as a result of that since I was a kid.
I like how casually he said, "I removed the brain"
"your nose is made of Hyaline cartilage "

BEST GAMES EVER!!
Lifehack: if you have that one "stuffy" nostril that barely passes any air, yet doesn't seem to have anything accessible obstructing airflow (e.g boogers) pinch both nostrils and try to breathe in and out through your nose. Do this a couple of times and when you release the stuffiness will be gone.
Apparently this fools your body into thinking you're so stuffed you can't breathe which triggers some internal self preserving system that quickly clears up whatever was obstructing your airflow.
Disclaimer: my explanation is broscience and I have no idea if this could potentially be bad for you.
U just saved me so much time trying to blow it and it only getting worser tysm
holy shit this actually works-
It could be that the pressure difference you create forces out any stuck mucus at the back of the nose. It might also increase the blood flow around the nasal conches, helping to decongest the area.
@@parselmouth94 That sounds more plausible than whatever I wrote 👍
This is called the Valsalva maneuver. It is used to equalize ear pressure by people who work in environments with rapid air pressure changes, like divers and pilots.
But I guess it works for the nose too, since the middle ear is connected to the nose canal (that’s sure not the exact name but I forgot). You exhale while blocking the way for air out of the body, so the pressure simply stretches the airways as wide as they can get.
I live in Colorado where the air has practically zero moisture during the winter, so I always get at least 2 to 3 nosebleeds out of nowhere during the winter, even when I don’t blow my nose aggressively, and thanks to a new medication I started not too long ago for my ADHD, I’ve noticed that my nose has started “producing” boogers a lot more often than it used to
Nosepicking is an incredibly rewarding endeavour. I find it even more rewarding than managing to get a hair from off the roof of my mouth, and into my fingers, even.
😳🤧
Yeah i mean when I've got hardened boogers in there, like big ones I mean what am i supposed to do? Blow it out with airflow so poor it couldn't blow out a candle? I'm taking the fucker out.
