ELI5: Which way should I tilt my head to stop a nosebleed, and why?

Forward, while applying pressure of the bridge of your nose or using a cool damp, clean, cloth to slow the bleeding by holding to your nose.

Leaning backwards may cause the blood to drain into your nasal sinus, down into the pharynx, and into your esophagus. Too much blood ingested might make you sick to your stomach and vomit.
