@jlharsh We have gone to his PCP with photos of the clots and he mentioned it was possibly allergies or the dry air of the CPAP that was causing these clots. The doctor said “moistening” the nose should diminish the clots. He was first put on saline spray for a month, the bleeding continued daily with dime-sized clots so he was put on Fluticasone and Cetirizine. In the recent few days the clots are becoming more frequent and bigger in size and sometimes blood just start dripping from his nose. I would figure that the spray/pill would alleviate either the frequency or the size of clots but it seems to be getting worse.
