My extremely fickle band has been off and on tight over the last few weeks, subsequently I have gotten stuck twice and had 2 fairly bad PB episodes during which my nose bled, well actually poured is a better description. I called my doctor and while he didn't say it was considered normal, he did it was not uncommon. So here I am, asking my fellow bandsters if it has happened to you? Thanks for your help!

PB's can be pretty violent! And if you're prone to nosebleeds, I would say that its easy to imagine you'd have one after a bad pb.

What a pain though!

Thanks for both your replies Jachut. The puzzling part of the nosebleed is I haven't ever had one before and now I've had gushers two times in a row. I'm sure its due to the PB episode but its very scary nonetheless especially since it started while I was vomiting and at that very instant I wasn't sure if I was vomiting blood or what. I quickly realized that it was coming from my nose but not before it scared the dickens outta me.

I hope I will find out more at my dr's appointment but I was hoping to see if anyone else had ever had that same problem. It always helps to know that you aren't the only one experiencing something odd like this. Maybe someone will see this and say "WOW, it happened to me too".
