REALLY freaking out- blew blood clot out of nose!
« on: March 11, 2013, 08:44:47 AM »
Enough is enough! I am now in total panic mode! I have had a tuff couple of days. First off, I figured out a week ago that I have a candida overgrowth which probably was the root cause of me to develop such bad anxiety in the first place (just makes sense) -- just to give you guys some background.. I am 26.
When I was 23 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (not saying what but it was curable through a splenectomy) I did not have anxiety at that time that has only developed in the last 6months. I went to the doctor because I was having a bleeding issues from head to toe.
With that being said- when I bleed I freak out now. I think  something is wrong. I have had sinus infections for also the last 6months (probably due to the candida overgrowth) The pain has resolved in my sinuses but I started blowing out green snot now this morning its is bright red blood and a clot I blew out! (Totally scarred me) Is this a sign of brain tumor or brain cancer or cancer???
I seriously am doing everything I can to get my anxiety under control but I am scarred and don't know where to turn.
I keep thinking I see things in my peripheral vision in left eye- it comes and goes. AND above everything else I have laryngitis. I am so stressed out I have something horrible. 

Also- is developing anxiety a sign of brain tumor or brain cancer?

I've had blood clots come out of my nose before when I've had a sinus infection. It's not a brain tumour. You have anxiety and, no this also isn't a sign of a brain tumour. It sounds like you have a bit of an upper respiratory infection with the laryngitis and the blood and green goo coming out of your nose. But this doesn't sound like a brain tumour at all. I hope you feel better soon.

This is really common during winter months because of the heat and dry air we all experience. My husband went to the doctor recently for a check up and she looked up his nose and noted how much blood she saw, even though he has never had a problem. She just recommended saline solution to help lube it up. I will sometimes have clotty looking things come out of my nose, particularly when the air is so dry.

This winter has been good to me.  Generally speaking though, I have horrible bloody noses in the winter, and it ALWAYS ends with me blowing a clot out of my nose.  Always.  Since I was a kid.

I've had this happen before, too ... and yes, if you don't know what's going on or haven't experienced it before, it can really send you into panic mode.

For me, it's nothing more than sinus-related ..... and having a dry house can make it worse.  In the winter, we have a humidifier running 24/7 and it really helps.  I also use a saline solution in my nose daily.

Myself and my 3 year old son blow snot almost daily with blood in it. Also get the "clots" several times a week. It isn't cancer it is dry air. Use a humidifier at night, do saline solution a couple times daily and take a qtip with petroleum jelly on it and swab inside your nostrils before bed. It helps some. No worries, just dry air.

Oh also, mine acts up even worse when I have a cold or sinus infection.  The combo of dry air with just being dry/inflamed from all the nose-blowing is bound to do it to you.  No worries at all.
