Nose Bleeds

[Ryno118 0]

Hi! Im new to skydiving, But somtimes when I am climbing to altitude (around 10k) I get a nose bleed. It aint bad, Just a few drops worth after I feel my ears pop. Im usually relaxed and I dont ever get them on the ground when Im stressed so dont think its due to that. Just wondering if you have ever heard/seen this befor? Thanks.

That's why you need to keep a tampon in your jumpsuit pocket!

Always be kinder than you feel.

I prefer to jump out of planes not be chucked out!

It happened to me one day. It got progressively worse as the day went on. The last jump I made that day I had some fun with it. I told the girl in our 3way that she hit me on exit. She felt pretty bad then she got mad when I told her the truth but we had fun with it for a hour or so.

So anyway mine was probably from my nose being dry. Solutions....

nasal saline spray or some other form of a nasal moisturizer

Hi Ry,
Interesting? Got sinus problems? Clear sinuses and eustation tubes are preferred! You'll know you have a major problem when you rupture a sinus and besides the nose bleed you have a splitting headache and you can't see because a bone fragment from the rupture punctured your optic nerve!! Not a very likely senario but ....
