Thank you for your query. In elderly hypertensive patients, epistaxis can often result from uncontrolled blood pressure, mucosal dryness, or medications like antiplatelets or anticoagulants. It is important to:
Check blood pressure immediately uncontrolled hypertension is a common cause.
Review all current medications, especially for aspirin, clopidogrel, or any anticoagulants.
Perform basic labs: CBC, PT/INR, and renal profile to rule out coagulopathy or platelet dysfunction.
For bleeding control: nasal pinching with head tilted forward, use topical vasoconstrictor sprays, and refer to ENT if bleeding is persistent or posterior.
Further management should focus on BP control and identifying any contributing medications.
Book a video consultation or For in person consultation, you can visit me at MedDerm by Dr. Zohra, Clinic #2, M Floor, BA Healthcare, beside BA Mall, Airport Road, Quetta.

It could be due to uncontrolled hypertension (BP). Monitor her BP and consult an experienced physician in-person if needed.
