Know your triggers to prevent a migraine from happening.



I would make sure you've been diagnosed with migraine. Hypertension can cause some nasty headaches and also causes nosebleeds.

Also, the pain of the migraine (or as an effect of migraine medication) could cause an increase in blood pressure can cause nosebleeds. You may want to investigate this possibility, because one type of migraine preventative involves different medications for high blood pressure.

I would also ask if you are taking any migraine abortives (or any other medication) nasally.

Certain other migraine preventatives dry out the mucous membranes causing a likelihood of nosebleed. It is also possible that, for you, the process of having a migraine dries out your mucous membranes temporarily.
