Siiick, help?

I have a horrible head cold! My nose keeps bleeding, I'm so dizzy I can't walk straight and now the mucus and blood are making me nauseous. My hubby is at work, I'm too scared to drive to the doc this dizzy. Any ideas?

Just don't want you getting as bad as me and almost needing a transfusion!  I doubt you will, but it can happen :-P

I'll try to get up with my mom and see if she can take me. Thanks. :)

If you've had a continuous nosebleed for over 20 mins, or one that is kinda broken up (starts and stops) for an hour, you need to go to the e.r.
Thats one of the reasons you're dizzy.  I've dealt with nosebleeds my whole life, so I know a few things about management and when to give in with nosebleeds.

I'm 22 weeks. I can't even rest because I have to keep sitting up because of the nose bleeds. A trip to the ER would be a little pricey right now.. );

Call an albulance. How far along are you? Nosebleeds are common in first trimester without having a headcold. The only thing we can take is tylenol.
