Never had a nose bleed in my life until starting about a year ago. Sometimes once a month, sometimes 3x a week. Was wondering if it was due to high BP, being ON and getting older (59). Well, I negated the BP out bcoz they are totally random - can happen while waking up at night to take a piss, to eating lunch - however, they never happen in the gym, which is when BP has gotta be at it's highest. Soooo, long story short it finally hit me that I started using a CPAP about a year ago also. So I researched it, and sure enough, CPAP's can cause nosebleeds from drying out ones nose. Especially if using the nose pillows like I do.
Anyone else experience this and have any tips or solutions? I read about trying saline drops in the nose to moisturize but I already tried that with no luck.
