Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 Hi I´ve started doing Ashtanga recently, and have been slowly evolving and enjoying my progress bit by bit. I started doing sirsasana without letting the feet go off the ground. However, today I managed to do it and stayed up for the full 25 breaths. That was probably about 1 and a half to two minutes being inverted. Then I finished off my practice as usual. about 35 minutes of finishing my day´s practice, I noticed my left nostril was bleeding (only one nostril). It didn´t drop or anything, but a lot of blood came out using a tissue. A little after that I felt weak and needed to lie down in my bed, but that only took 5 minutes. Now I´m fine! My eyes seemed fine throughout. Has anyone experienced something like this before? What could the possible causes of this be? Or is this normal to happen, once in a while? Any suggestions are welcome. Om Shanti Miguel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2003 Report Share Posted March 16, 2003 That doesn't seem normal to me. Standing on your head shouldn't cause a nose bleed. I would blame it on a possible sinus infection or something of that nature if you've recently have had a cold. Do you usually get nose bleeds easily? ashtanga yoga, "n3wskin" <miguel_tereno@n...> wrote: > Hi > > I´ve started doing Ashtanga recently, and have been slowly evolving > and enjoying my progress bit by bit. > > I started doing sirsasana without letting the feet go off the > ground.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 Hey Zeke! Well, I believe I am not hypertense at all. Hypertense means high blood pressure right? I remember checking my blood pressure a few months ago, and it might have been a little under average... anyway I´ll check tomorrow first thing in the morning and then let you know the results...
