A nosebleed happens when one of the blood vessels in the lining of the nose bursts. Nosebleeds may be caused by infection, injury, allergic reaction, nose picking or an object being pushed into the nostril. Another name for nosebleed is epistaxis. Bleeding from the nose is common in children and is usually not serious. Seek medical attention if nosebleeds are severe, frequent or prolonged.
The increase in blood pressure due to stress makes the blood vessels in the nose very susceptible to rupture which results in bleeding. Any normal activity such as blowing your nose or sneezing can cause bleeding through the walls of blood vessels that have been weakened and under increased pressure. Since many nosebleeds are spontaneous and have no apparent symptoms, a nosebleed from stress can make for a difficult diagnosis.
