The night after my cast got removed my nose started bleeding severely. I called my doc, but had to call ambulance as I was losing too much blood. I've been told it's due to a dissolving stitch coming out causing the artery to bleed severely. Now I am stuffed with interior balloon tampon. ER doc told me to remove it in 3 days, as my doc told me to wait 6 days. What should I do? Also, what is the chance of me bleeding again after balloon is removed? (Also I had no blood thinner meds).
