nose bleeds
New with cpap, three weeks, have had eight nose bleeds, have a humidifier,what to do ?
Re: nose bleeds
What is the setting on the humidifier? Where do you live? Low ambient humidity in general?
Use some simple saline nose spray to help hydrate the nasal mucosa. Increase the humidifier setting to add more moisture. If only tiny amount of nose bleeding this should help. If large copious amounts of blood then you should see a doctor to maybe evaluate the offending area and maybe get it cauterized.

Re: nose bleeds
Try turning your humidifier up higher or to the highest setting. I don't know any other causes or reasons why your nose would be bleeding so much. If it persists I would go to my doctor!
Re: nose bleeds
Are you using and antihistamine or steroid nose sprays for allergy? These can cause nose bleeds.
