Persistent nosebleeds can be a sign of a more serious condition. Have you had any blood work done? Do you have any unusual bruising? or bruises that take too long to go away? Do you bleed too long when you cut yourself? If you are female, are your periods longer or heavier lately?

I have not had any current blood work done and no I do not have any unusual bruising etc. I do not have any symtpoms of any bleeding disorder - yes I am female and periods are sometimes heavier - but I am 40....
ENT hasn't suggested blood work yet, but guess this should be a next step ?
You should at the very least get a complete blood count, and a platlet count. If there are any abnormalities in these numbers, the Dr. should know the next step to take as far as additional testing.
