The claim – Tilt your head back to treat a nosebleed
That is what most people claim to know how to stop a nose bleed; lean back and apply pressure to the nose area. Medical experts say that what most people know about nose bleed is wrong. Tilting the head back is improper first aid and can create complication by allowing blood to flow into the esophagus (breathing tube). This will choke the esophagus and cause blood to travel to the stomach and possibly leading to vomiting and irritation. The best method is to sit down and lean forward by keeping your head above your heart which lessens the bleeding. The leaning forward movement helps to drain the blood from the nose and keep it from the esophagus.
In order to stop bleeding by using your thumb and index finger to squeeze the soft tissue just below the bridge of your nose for 5 ~ 10 minutes. A cold compress or ice pack placed across the bridge of the nose can also help. If all these two methods fails and the bleeding lasts for more than 20 minutes or the nose bleed was caused by a blow to the head, seek medical attention immediately.

My most terrible nosebleed happened long ago while I am about ten years old, the bleeding happened while I was sleeping and the whole pillow was stained heavy in red. This happened because I ate one big durian fruit during the evening. My father bought the whole basket from the wholesaler at a low price. And each one of us have one fruit to ourselves. Then did I knew that I cannot eat too many durian fruit at one sitting.
