I was splitting wood with the neighbor today and I got a bloody nose. No big deal, I'll shove a kleenex up my nose and get back to it, right? Except it turned into a gusher, as in I couldn't stop the flow of blood, I was bleeding profusely out my nose. Ended up going to Urgent Care, it turned out to be a blown capillary which they didn't cauterize. It blew again later this afternoon and took about 3 hours to stop bleeding.

I was concerned. No headache, no fainting, my BP was 127/80. It was just a huge gusher that wouldn't stop bleeding. Ever had anything that concerned you that turned out to be nothing?
