I don't mean to necropost, but I just came back across this one.

To add to the already excellent advice provided by Crip and Eagle, you may consider trying saline nasal spray. NOT Afrin or another vasoconstricter. Saline spray is essentially harmless, can be used as many times a day as you like, and keeps the nasal mucosa moist to potentially prevent bleeding.

AFTER CHECKING THEIR BLOOD PRESSURE AND LOOKING UP THEIR NOSE AND NOT FINDING ANYTHING, this is the first thing I would suggest to a patient.
