Wednesday I had the worst headache in the morning and couldn't get out of the bed. I missed work and slept for a few more hours, and when I woke up blood was dripping out of my left nostril. It was kind of scary and I had to google "headache" and "noseblood" after I called in work to apologize for my absence without notice. I got webpages that described brain problems and high blood pressure, which also scared me, but because after all I knew my nose bled often and the headache was getting better, I decided not to worry about it.
My nose bleeds, especially the left nostril. I've had it bleed in workshop a few times, and it was pretty embarrassing when it happened. Especially in the first time it did I didn't have cleenex and had to run to the bathroom while one of my workshop-mates was reading his work. When I came back, panting, Ray asked me what was wrong. I whispered my nose was bleeding so that nobody but him would hear me and he replied, in a booming voice, "YOUR NOSE BLEEDING?"
I learned to carry cleenex everywhere I went and to sense the liquidity in my nose that wasn't stoppable by sniffing. And as my nose bled more and more, I realized how it was related to what I was doing at that time. It happened when I was reading something, or listening to lectures, anytime when I was very much in concentration, or when I was emotionally moved; in other words when my brain was working very hard, trying to fully function. It probably brought blood up into my head and it would flood out from, somehow, my left nostril.
So it's very simple; when my mind is pressurred for some reason, that comes out as blood from my nose. I liked to feel the connection between body and mind and decided to take my nosebleeding as a message from my body. And to think about I've been under some stress recently the headache and the bleeding is pretty reasonable.
Thus, everything makes sense and I like that it does.
