When nosebleed occurs, blood usually flows out from the anterior nostril; or flows into the pharynx through the posterior nostril. When the amount of bleeding is large, both situations may occur at the same time. Sometimes nosebleeds flow into the throat, which may also manifest as "vomiting blood". This is because when nosebleeds are severe, more blood is swallowed, which irritates the stomach. In addition to causing abdominal pain, pale complexion, and sweating, it may also cause vomiting of coffee-like substances, that is, stomach acid reacts with blood, causing the blood to turn coffee-colored.
