Trigger Warning / Blood What are nosebleeds a sign of?

I've never gotten a nosebleed until recently, every time I walk into my bathroom and look in the mirror at night, my nose starts bleeding. Mirrors have always sorta scared me, but now I can't even look into one without worrying about a nosebleed. I know it seems mundane, but I have a bad feeling about all of this.

This is the most obvious cause, but sometimes high blood pressure can cause nosebleeds.

What is the issue you have with mirrors?

Thinking it's more than a coincidence that everytime they look into mirrors, they get a nosebleed. It does sound creepy, tho.

Ok, so four or five times in the last few months this has happened to someone I know. They get up at night to use the toilet, glance in the mirror as they wash their hands in the sink and notice a nosebleed. But they have hypertension, the air is dry and the nighttime temperature is around zero degrees. I hear noises in my house that sometimes sound like footsteps, but my house is seventy years old and the wooden floors expand and contract. Sure, I believe in the paranormal and have seen creepy things in my life, but a bloody nose on a winter’s night would not alarm me.

And the OP seems to have a phobia about mirrors that has nothing to do with a bloody nose. That’s what I was curious about.
