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.
Nosebleeds that recur often are commonly caused by bleeding from the front of the nose (anterior epistaxis). Common causes of this type of nosebleed are: 1  Blowing or picking the nose. 2  Structural problems in the nose, either present from birth (congenital) or caused by an injury.
