Pinch the bridge of your nose and lean forward until the bleeding stops. You DO NOT want to lean your head back because you could choke on the blood.

I make a plug with a tissue and put that in my nose, and then lean forward so that the blood doesn't get swallowed when it goes back down your throat. Never tilt your head back because the blood will go down your throat and into your stomach, causing astomachache

One way to stop the nose bleeding is tip your head back and relax in a chair. Ice can also be applied to the nose while laying with the head tiled back. Another tried and true method is to apply pressure with your finger to the area between the nose and lip area.
