nose bleeds

Post by ricenan@gmail.com » Thu Jul 30, 2015 8:13 am

Are nose bleeds a result of the air drying out the nostrils when using CPAP? Recently, after 20 years or so of using CPAP , lstely with ahumidifier, I have had several nose bleeds that are a little worrying.
Thanks for any information on this.

If you haven't had a problem in 20 years...I doubt that it is the CPAP.
