So yesterday was back day and i just getting into my back workout and i was on my second set of dumbell rows and all of a sudden my nose just started gushing blood...it lasted for about 20 minutes and i was pretty light headed...but after it stopped i was able to finish my workout with anymore bleeding...

any have any ideas what this could be from...i was a lil scared

Well, if not running anything, see a doc dude.
Thats usually assoicated with high blood pressure. Either way, you should go to the doc. Better safe than sorry.

How's the weather where you are? You could be just dried out. I get nose bleeds often in the dry winter months until I put a vaporizer in my bedroom for when I'm sleeping. Picked it up for around 40 bucks at a local pharmacy.

that happens to me sometimes also bro. if they were bent over rows it could have been from your head being lower than your heart and forcing more blood to your face, also if you notbreathing properly it can increase your BP temporarily. dry air causes blood vessel ruptures also. winter air has very little humidity in it, especially if its at or below freezing. humidifiers work well for that last situation. hope it helps.
