Hi @jag1203, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It has to be concerning when what you are used to your husband experiencing changes, especially when it is seeing more blood. If it were me I would feel better contacting his doctor to find out what they think.

You mention blood clots when he blows his nose are worse and he is not getting better with the prescribed nasal sprays or allergy pills. What are the nasal sprays he is taking? How long has been taking these, and what is not getting better?

@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.
