Nose Bleeds

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lafayette, IN

I have had 2 episodes of nose bleeds since I was told I have COPD. Does nose bleeds go along with this or am I looking at maybe a different problem? I have read some but haven't come across anything about it, but thinking maybe I missed something.

Thank you all for the help. It has happened twice and I was a little concerned, first time it was bad and lasted about 45 minutes... 2 time was not as heavy and lasted around 15 minutes. We also monitor my blood pressure during the episodes, since I also take medication for that. But again thank you for the help. I will keep an eye on it and talk with my doctor about it too.

Hi I also have nose bleeds, this is caused by the medicine that we take as it thins our skin. Try to sit up straight with your head slightly forward and pinch your nose just at the bridge of your eyes until the bleeding stops.
If you need to clean your nose you can buy a Salex pack at your pharmacy. This helps keep your nose nice and clean

Check with your Doctor, you may be on blood thinners that could be causing them. I have trouble with them but I seem to have trouble with just the aspirin a day for a blood thinner
