My nose bled for like twenty minutes this morning. That's normal right?

No, that's either dry or infected sinuses. See a doctor and get nasal drops.

That seems very unusual. Hope you're OK now. As pianotm said, seek guidance from a doctor. Yeah, that seems out of the ordinary.
I don't like doctors, got some bad history with one almost killing my mother. If it happens again I'll go. Or lose so much blood I fall back asleep and bleed out, whichever comes first.

Thanks.
I regularly get nosebleeds roughly once a day, for about a week, twice a year (during each seasonal change). They usually last 5-15 minutes, depending on the humidity of where I currently am (ones in the shower take horrendously long).
If it's the same story for you, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've been having the damn things since elementary school and they don't seem to be anything more than a nuisance. Otherwise, yeah, it might be worth a trip to the walk-in clinic.

Out of possibly related curiosity, have you been knocked upside the head lately? It could be a symptom of concussion if so.
It's probably the sudden drop in temperature around here lately. Also I hit my head on the roof quite often, but not hard enough for a concussion. (I sleep upstairs and the roof slants down, and we just moved in recently.)
