Does high blood pressure cause nosebleeds?

Patient's question:

My dear sister-in-law, her health condition is generally good, but she currently has high blood pressure. She is not able to do heavy labor. A couple of days ago, she suddenly started nosebleeding for no reason. She just told others she had a cold. Hello, does high blood pressure cause nosebleeds?

Doctor's answer:

High blood pressure generally tends to cause a decrease in blood vessel pressure, which can easily lead to the rupture of capillaries and the onset of symptoms similar to psoriasis. Oral antihypertensive medications can be used for treatment. Additionally, a complete blood count test at the hospital may reveal a recurrence of thrombocytopenia, in which case platelet reduction therapy can be implemented. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
