If your cat's heart rate exceeds 220 beats per minute consistently, and does not slow down as your cat relaxes, then that can potentially indicate heart disease. Â· The most common type of heart disease in cats, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) results in thickening of the heart ventricle walls.
The increase in blood pressure due to stress makes the blood vessels in the nose very susceptible to rupture which results in bleeding. Any normal activity such as blowing your nose or sneezing can cause bleeding through the walls of blood vessels that have been weakened and under increased pressure. Since many nosebleeds are spontaneous and have no apparent symptoms, a nosebleed from stress can make for a difficult diagnosis.
An injury or blow to the nose can cause bleeding, but most aren't a serious problem. But if your child has a facial injury that causes a bloody nose and you can't stop the bleeding after 10 minutes or have other concerns about the injury, get medical care right away. While nosebleeds are rarely serious, there might be a problem if they happen a lot.
