Are heavy nose bleed normal during allergies?
Hello! I had very heavy nose bleeds two days in a row as soon as I wake up it drenched napkins right away and last more than 30 mins. I went to the ER and the doctor and they told me it’s just my allergies because my nose is it extremely swollen and irritated.i also have extremely big multiple blood clots. They didn’t do any blood tests or do any procedures. I also been running a low grade fever. However I use afrin and Vaseline and it still takes a while to stop the bleeding. I got an appointment with the ENT soon but what should I do to stop these nosebleeds ?

@npedr2, Hey there. I am sorry you are battling this.
Are you using Flonase as it can cause nosebleeds? Also, I found Astepro nasal spray can cause a bloody discharge that mimics a sinus infection, so I stopped using it.
Try a cool mist humidifer in your bedroom. Ayr saline moisturing spray may help too.
Have they tried cauterizing your nose for the nosebleeds? This can help.
Do you think you have a sinus infection with this? Sometimes you can run a fever with a sinus infection.
Praying for you as this has to be miserable. Blessings...
@covidstinks2023 hey and thank you for the prayers 😭 I don’t use nasal sprays. Allergies kind of hit all of the sudden. I’ll try your tips ! But the ER didn’t want to cauterize my nosebleeds and they told me I don’t have a sinus infection but who knows 😭
@npedr2 YRW. Are you on a blood thinner by chance? Blessings & Prayers....
@covidstinks2023 no! I’m only on propranolol to help manage my POTS.
