Blood blood everywhere

I am 16 years old and I've had nose bleeds since I was 2. I've been cauterized enough. Most recent time in November. To me, one persons bad is my good for blood loss. The most recent nose bleed lasted about an hour and a half. I have an appointment AGAIN with the specialist. Yes my blood work is fine. Haemoglobin is good, blood count is good, white blood cells good and blood pressure is normal. No cancer. I am not anaemic. There is no problem showing, but there is obviously one. I can tell you when one is going to start. I get immense pressure in my head, eyes and gums, then out of no where bleed. After bleeding, due to so much blood loss, I get a headache and really dizzy. They have no explanation. can you think of anything?

I found this statement online "Chronic nosebleeds are often a calcium deficiency". Interesting. A good test for calcium deficiency is the Chvostek sign which is an abnormal reaction to the stimulation of the facial nerve.

You can watch youtube videos to see a few demonstrations. Tap the facial nerve in front of the ear and if other facial muscles twitch (commonly lips) this is a positive Chvostek sign.  A small percentage (up to 10%) have this as a normal sign; the other 90% have calcium deficiency.  If you have this sign, the odds you have calcium deficiency is very high. Calcium serum is not accurate. I found this out the hard way with perfect mid range calcium serum levels and deficient ionized calcium levels.

The problem is is the tests have all come back negative and my nose is not dry. I've had a lot of people ask about that, but it isn't. I'm getting my blood tested again tomorrow. For everything :/
