I had the same problem I used a nose spray at first then I turned up the temperature in the CPAP to add more moisture to the air if you don't have a CPAP or BiPAP your oxygen machine can except a humidifier

I have not had that issue in fact, it has been quite the opposite but my sister,who is a nurse said that she has used a humidifier and she suggested a bottled humidifier for the oxygen concentrator to keep the nose from drying out and causing the patient to have nosebleeds.
