Nosebleeds

[dogwalker3]

Anybody got any ideas if vaping can cause nosebleeds.

Past couple of days if my nose has been blown there has been a bit of blood, but this morning after i came downstairs had a cuppa my nose started to run gets a tissue but was all blood (me= mrs panic with nosebleeds) Can it be vape related ?

I've not heard of this one before , if it continues over the weekend , make an appointment with your Doc asap

Oh mrs that doesn't sound good my nose has got better since vaping I suffer with rionitous and nasel Polips and find the vapour doesn't irritate my nose like the smoke did if anything it dries it out but not had a nose bleed

Not heard of nosebleeds as being vaping related Dogwalker, i would go see the doctor if it continues

I really understand your worries dw i am a born worrier and its so easy to get paranoid speaking to the queen of paranoia I agree with the good advice go to the docs first thing Monday of they continue just to put your mind at ease

That is probably due to stopping smoking. Your blood thins when you stop due to a vast reduction in carbon monoxide levels in your blood stream. Something to due with the red blood cells attachng themselves to the carbon monixde molecules making the lood thicken. I didn't have nose bleeds but my gums bled for a while. Hope this helps.

As above, i've had a few since stopping smoking and i believe this is why.

As Claretlad says DW . . . that's the most likely explanation, we all can get such differing symptoms when coming off of tobacco cigs, but if it continues, I'd go and see your Doctor . . . to put your mind at rest if nothing else.

I have abnormally sensitive skin tissue in my nose and am prone to nosebleeds. having said that i have not had anything since vaping that could be related in any way. in fact i don't even realise i am exhaling vapour through my nose unless i am looking in a mirror ( and no i don't stand in front of a mirror watching myself vape regularly ).

i would seriously doubt it is related unless you have a reaction to any of the chemicals/flavourings in the juice you are using, as the nose membrane is very thin.

Hey, not had a full on nosebleed but both me and my partner have a bloody nose in the morning, I think it is the liquid...partners is prob me punching her in the nose for snoring ...I jest it's prob the liquid also...

used to get em all the time.....only when i stick tissues up there though...no running

after coutless googling found one post saying nose bleeds are a result of giving up smoking as years of gunk clearing uncovers rather sensitive layer that has been protected by the gunk. nose needs time to build up its defences
mine went on for a couple of months (probably due to sticking fingers up there all time) but occassionally get them now.

i always need clearing out 1st thing in the morning too.

theres a topic here with a few ppl with same problem if its any help

Have the same issues now but i already put this down to a 'quitting cigs'.

Smoking does thicken the blood. I take warfarin, a blood thinner. When I packed in smoking I had my dose lowered as my blood naturally thinned, but I still get the occasional nose bleed and I don't worry about it.

[dogwalker3]

Thanks for the replies everyone, at least i now know it can be down to the quitting smoking so i wont worry to much about it now

I suffer with bad migraines & have been prone to nosebleeds after the migraine has gone.

Don't think they are anything to worry about unless the nosebleed goes on for a while.
