I have a history of nose bleed. A couple of years ago, I could not stop the bleeding and ended in ER. They installed a snake ( that's what the ER doc called it) and the inflated it. It is the only way they can stop it. I had it for two days before an EENT doc removed it and cauterized my right nostril.
This AM, I had another nose bleed. My second this week, and my fourth in a week and a half. So, I got cauterized again this AM, my second this year. Apparently, I have a superficial blood vessel that is extremely pressure sensitive that can be triggered by sneezing, blowing nose, etc.
Known causes of nose bleed - dry environment, blood thinners (I do not take any), caffeine (I drink 6-8 cups of strong/black every AM), CPAP, etc. my precautionary measures, I use nasal spray, and bacitracin to keep my nostrils from drying, we had humidifier installed in our furnace, and CPAP machine also have a heated humidifier.
Anyways, I am sharing, just in case anyone suffers with the same issue, but I hope not.
