bleeding sinuses

Post by canyongirl » Mon May 05, 2008 10:25 am

blood pressures ok (just got checked two days ago)

tried higher humidity and lower humidity. Humidifier is working.

used saline rinse, but no afrin etc. and then didn;t use saline spray

been on ztrtec d for decongestatnts, but stopped with bloody nose

presssure at 11

start at night ok at 10 pm then wake up betwen 2 and 3 (sometimes rainout in hose, but always water in chamber) Sometimes very dry when i wake up, the bloody nose/sinuses. happened while sleeping 4 nights ina row and with a nap (no cpap)

any ideas?

going to ENT next week, but looking for possible solutions now

Can we assume that your humidifier is heated?

Probably won't fix it... but something that you could use to help it not be so dry (assuming that's where the bleeding is coming from)... Put some Ayr gel on a swab (q-tip)... or get it already on a swab... and put it on the dry spots.
