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).

You need a consultation. Most likely you are opening the eustachian tube that goes from the internal nasal area to the inner ear. When you blow your nose the increased pressure may open the tube resulting in a popping sensation in one or both ears. See a PS or ENT doc for an exam.
