Are blood clots from the nose a worrisome problem?

You should worry ABOUT seeing your primary again. And are you using “clots” in the strict sense? Or like “globs”. Clots can interrupt blood flow. Is this consistent blood loss? Is he anemic? Does he “cough up” the substance, or does it drain down? Does his nasal air flow pass through without obstruction, noiselessly? Sure, I have had the occasional case of a little “nose” blood mixed with mucous or whatnot, but promoted by a condition of some sort. I wish you well. Please find a cause. And BTW, is your husband over 65, as I? Unfortunately it could affect the quality of care.

@hopeseeker22 yes, the clots are in a literal sense. Thick clots that are not breakable when squished. It is consistent, daily and multiple times a day. Sometimes he coughs the substance, but sometimes it drains from the nose and he spits it out. It doesn’t come up with mucus.
We are going to make another visit to his PCP or change PCP’s at this point because it’s not the first time that there seems to be no urgency on the doctor’s part and a condition/disease is discovered later down the line. I just wanted to read others’ opinions and not want to subjectively overact.
