You are probably blowing too hard and breaking small blood vessels in your nose. You should try to be more gentle, blowing your nose-- try using steam or a hot compress before you blow your nose to loosen up the mucus, making it easier to blow out.  Also, try blowing only one nostril at a time.  You do not want to blow your nose so hard that it causes a nose bleed.  If your nose does start to bleed, pinch your nose with your thumb and index fingers to get it to stop bleeding.  Use a hot compress or steam before you try and blow it again. Also, make sure you drink at least 8-10 eight ounce glasses of water when you are stuffy. You can also try a NetiPot or nasal wash product.
