Symptom #10: Nosebleeds

A nosebleed or epistaxis refers to bleeding that originates from the nose. It is usually noticed once there is blood draining from the nostrils. Nosebleeds can be divided into anterior and posterior types. Blood can flow down to the stomach, resulting in other associated symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

In aplastic anemia, nosebleeds can occur due to the lack of platelets that play a role in blood clotting. Common causes of nosebleeds include trauma, relative humidity, chronic sinusitis, respiratory tract infections, rhinitis, environmental irritants, and more.
