Sniff.. sniff

Sniff.. sniff...Nasal Congestion is really getting worst.  Nasal are congested all the time...

Nowadays, I dare not blow my nose or clear it too often because at times it will start bleeding.  The blood that comes out from the nose is actually quite little, and it stops almost immediately.

This bleeding is caused by the expansion of blood vessels increase the pressure of blood in the body.  When the pressure of blood in the blood vessels inside the nose rises beyond a certain limit, nose bleeds occur.

The scarier part is when the blood does not appear from the nose.  It mix together with the mucus and flow into the throat to appear like phlegm.  When the phlegm is spit out, a piece of blood clog comes out.  It frighthen me the 1st time....but eventually i got used to it, thou it still looks scary.

Lesson learnt: Do not blow the nose too hard!
