Nasal blood clots can occur for several reasons, and in your case, high blood pressure may be a contributing factor, as elevated blood pressure can make small nasal blood vessels more prone to rupture. Other possible causes include dry nasal passages, local trauma (like nose picking or minor injury), sinus infections, or certain medications, including those that affect blood clotting. Thyroid medication is generally less likely to cause nasal bleeding, but any underlying blood disorders or clotting issues should also be considered. It is important to consult an ENT specialist or your primary doctor to evaluate the cause, especially if bleeding is recurrent, severe, or associated with other symptoms, so that appropriate management can be started.
