Members came together to discuss nosebleeds, with many connecting them to oxygen use, CPAP machines, blood thinners like Eliquis and Plavix, and general dryness of the nasal passages. Several members recommended Ayr nasal gel or spray, saline sprays, and increasing humidity on oxygen or CPAP devices using distilled water as helpful ways to reduce dryness and bleeding. A recurring theme was the relief many felt after trying these remedies, with one member happily sharing that nosebleeds stopped for about a month after starting Ayr.

I’m sorry it’s actually spelled Ayr. You can get it in your grocery store by the pharmacy department. It also comes in a nasal spray..

Being on oxygen, or c-pap can dry you out and cause you to irritate the nasal linings. If you can 'up' your humidity on the devices? That is helpful. There are 'moisturizing' nasal sprays that could be helpful. Even just plain saline spray can bring a benefit.

Yes, nosebleeds can be a concern, especially if you're taking certain medications for pulmonary hypertension. Medications like riociguat (Adempas), which is a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, list nosebleeds as a known side effect. It's important to take medication side effects seriously and discuss them with your doctor. They can offer advice or prescribe other medications to help manage these side effects. Always read the information that comes with your medications to be aware of potential side effects.
