I get nosebleeds like every second workout now a days. Mainly during compound movements such as: deadlifts, squats and even military press.
It's annoying as hell to have to stick up paper up your nose almost every workout and I'm starting to think of ways to maybe prevent it.
Read online that it is due to iron deficiency, is that true?
Is it dangerous or am I just pushing myself as hard as you should?

Is nosebleeds a sign of iron deficiency?
NO supplements, NO protein powders

Well, I've done some research and I'm not getting light headed, nauseus or an "extreme pulse". So most likely I think I have some kind of sinus problem.
I had this problem a while ago and my doctor told me to use a nose spray which kept the sinuses humid. This worked back in the day but not anymore.
I guess I have to pay a visit to him again, thought the "iron deficiency" theory was it...NO supplements, NO protein powders

i get random bloody noses.... but note it is not specific to the gym and therefore not the same situation as you... i went to see a doctor and this is what you should do as well.
he couldnt really find anything and i got a second opinion including an MRI. nothing.
i contribute it to dry sinuses and the fact that my blood is pretty thin..... when i bleed, i bleed a lot but luckly i coagulate quickly too.
but really the only part that matters is that you go see a doctor about it. it could be something insignificant or something major.

It has nothing to do with iron.
