Cabin Pressure Change Pains & Blood Sneeze?

[Raawx]

I just sneezed blood. Earlier today, I was on an airplane. As we were descending, I had a sharp pain in my hear. The ear wouldn't "pop". And then, perhaps for a solid 30 seconds, I had a really strange series of sharp pains all across my face. It stopped, and the pain in the ear faded. Anything to worry about?

You mention blood in you subject line but no more in the post.  

Blood sounds a bit unusual, do you have a sensitive bleeding condition?  I know some people get nose bleeds easily - and i think most can control them without medical attention.... I carry a packaged bleed stopper called NasalCease which I have never used.  But, about two months ago I woke up with an uncontrollable nose bleed that sent me to the ER in the early hours of the morning.  The ER doctor couldn't "fix" it so he installed a "Rhino Rocket", and nasal balloon that was removed a couple days later by my ENT doctor, first visit there.  

My point is nose bleeds could be caused by the altitude change too if you have a sensitive nose, or it could be simply coincidental.  In my case I was not flying (albeit I am a million miler on United AL) that caused the bleed, but could have been the dry winter air in my home.

As noted already, you didn't discuss the bleed issue, so I provide the above on that subject just-in--case my experience provides anything useful.

No, Just a bad reaction to the pressure fluctuation.
