Asprin & Nosebleeds

[hall]

I have been having trouble with nose bleeds. I am wondering if it could be caused from the asprin. I only take 81mg. daily. THe only other things I take is zyrtec and pepcid. I do take some vitamins. I do not remember seeing this discussed here and was wondering if anyone else has this problem. It is not daily, but they are getting worse.

Even though I am taking Coumadin, I had recurring nosebleeds for 2 years while taking low dose Aspirin.

I didn't mean to punch you that hard, sorry.

Some of us have capillaries very close to the outside membrane and it doesn't take much for them to bleed. I had to be cauterized to put a stop to mine.

How is your blood pressure?

Darn you Ross....you have a great right hook!

Sue: I just had my blood pressure taken: 110/70. It usually runs right in that area.

I noticed that you take Zyrtec. I know that when my allergies are at their worst I tend to have a slight amount of blood in the tissue when I'm blowing my nose a lot. Add some aspirin along with irritated blood vessels in your nostrils and I could see how a nose bleed could occur. This is just speculation and not to be taken as medical advice. But if you have pressure build up in your sinuses, you are blowing your nose a lot, and you are taking aspirin...that could be a possible explanation for the nose bleeds.

Or it could be that Ross's right hook broke your nose, which would definitely explain the nose bleeds.

Deb, It's probally allergy related. You could be blowing your nose to often or to hard and that can cause nose bleeds. If it keeps up I would mention it to your dr.
Good Luck & give us an update if you find out what it could be.
You better watch that Ross he's quick with the punch!!!
