•As altitude/height increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases.
•But , the body blood pressure remains the same.
•This causes an imbalance in pressure of atmosphere and body , because outer pressure is lower as compared to that of body.
•This creates high pressure inside the body because outside pressure is lower.
•Hence, this increased pressure inside the body forces the blood out of the body , which comes out through the nose.
•Hence nose may bleed at high altitudes.
