nose bleed

[ozm8ey]

Hello well I was just sitting down talking then all of a sudden my nose started pissing out blood, I managed to stop the bleeding but am worried.
Could this have being from vaping? I'm peeking out right now

 

[Dyanne]

wow never heard of that! have you been drinking water much? Perhaps your nasal passages is getting too dry?

 

[Robino1]

Yikes. Any history of nose bleeds? If you continue to have problems, see a doctor. That's the best advice I can give

 

[DadEh]

Wow. Never heard of this.
Hope you are ok but let us know more if this continues OR if it turns out to be nothing.

 

[ozm8ey]

nah no history of nose bleed I just really hope it isn't from vaping. Also its really hot i'm thinking it might be because of the heat it's 39 Celsius /80 Fahrenheit

 

[Robino1]

Ahh it is your summer there. You very well could be dried out.
Google dry nose and nose bleeds. You might get some information on how to keep your nasal passages moist. Do you exhale through your nose?

I am 42, smoked for 26 years, and never had any random nose bleeds until I started vaping. I have been vaping just over 2 years and in the last year I have had a handful (5/6) of random nose bleeds. The past couple months I have started drinking more water, 1.5 to 2L a day, and it has subsided. I am no medical professional, but in my case it seemed to be a drying out issue, which vaping PG can cause, plus I live in Arizona. Your case might be totally different, but upping your water intake, and remaining diligent about it, would be the first place I would start. Like I said, this is just my experience with a similar issue, if you want an educated diagnosis you need to see a doctor.

Googling just about any medical condition will inevitability lead back to cancer, so I typically try to avoid that. (said in jest)

Its your blood vessels opening back up and blood flow near the surface of your mouth and nasal system coming back to life now that smoking isn't keeping it supressed.

I was given a proper explanation by a doctor a few months back, but I forget and that was the general gist of what he was saying.

Growing up from about 8 yrs to mid teens I had a history of frequent nose bleeds. My mom took me to the doctor several times but could find nothing. Today at 56 I very,very rarely get nosebleeds. Since I started vaping about 16 mos ago not 1 nose bleed yet. In my case vaping has no effect on my nose bleeds.

i have a history of nose bleeds only in my right nostril, and i was also told the thing about the blood vessels, seems as i get older they become less frequent.

I would second (or third) the hydration suggestion. Only time I had nosebleeds recently was when I was at a trade show in Vegas; the dry air really did a number on my nasal passages (this was before I vaped). Drink lots of water, and don't exhale through your nose and see if that helps. If not, see a doctor!!!

I had nosebleeds once in a while when I was a kid. I wasn't vaping or smoking then. I grew up in an area of northern Idaho that has very low humidity for most of the year. From this, I know that nosebleeds can happen for causes unrelated to vaping.

After I started vaping and reduced my cigarette smoking I had trouble with dry and sore nostrils and nasal passages. I live in a part of California where there is very low humidity for most of the year and the dryness happened during low humidity. I did two things that improved the situation.

1. I switched from high percentage PG to high percentage VG juice.
2. I used a saline solution nasal spay several times a day for a couple of weeks.

The dry nasal passages cleared up. I still don't know what improved the situation.

So, if you are having nosebleeds look into the possibility that you have dry nasal passages that could be reacting to quitting smoking. Or the vaping is causing the drying. Or the climate is causing drying. Regardless, the saline nasal spray will provide the quickest relief. Any drugstore will stock this product.

Then again, nosebleeds can happen.

Unless you have some underlying condition, I can assure you its dehydration. Vaping drys you out, if you get too dried out, too dehydrated, the nose bleed is the first symptom that you WILL notice. For me, it almost like my sinus`s and nose are the warning signs that I have not been drinking enough water. First the sinus`s will get pretty well backed up, if I don`t take heed of this warning sign, and drink lots of water, at least two quarts a day, the nose bleed will be next (pretty minor I will add). When I make a conscience effort to drink enough water, at least two quarts a day, then everything is fine and dandy.

How Much Water Should You Drink Every Day?

Good luck.

I had this happen to me. 3 scary runny nosebleeds (Prior to this, I've only ever had a bloody nose when a fist was involved) I was afraid it was vaping, but I had other things going on too: confusion, fatigue, focus issues. I was so worried about it that I went to a neurologist and got tested, and an MRI. It turned out to be a mild sinus infection. It went away.

I still don't know if vaping caused/contributed it to it, but I've upped my vaping quite a bit and I haven't had any more nosebleeds. I get some bloody boogers, but its winter in the northeast and I have wood heat so the air is pretty dry. I don't think it was vaping related.

I tend to quickly blame everything on vaping. I once had a terrible stomach issue that caused me to throw up all night. It happened a second time and I blamed it on too much vaping, specifically putting my drip tip too far into my mouth. I figured I was inhaling vapor directly into my stomach. Upon reflection, I believe that I had food poisoning because the issue has not resurfaced.

Now the film on my car windows...definitely vape related.

We both know vaping didn't cause this. I know you are embarrassed about this. But you don't need to be embarrassed. You can embrace it. Embrace the joy of your NOSE PICKING! That's what I do now! I used to live in the shadows and shame. Now I pick freely (though I have been asked to stop during sermon at church because apparently my nose picking is mesmerizing to the pastor and he forgets what he is saying). I've found this tool very helpful. Live free my friend.

 

[delinx32]

Ha! I don't hide that. It's so much of a joke that my daughter now does it and my wife blames me, however, nose picking doesn't cause blood to pour out of your nose.

Sure it does if you dig hard enough. It's like being in the olympics...you have to want it and be willing to dig down deep for that part of you that's a winner!

When my sinuses/throat got burned with too much PG, then I caught a cold, my sinuses and nasal passages were miserable for a couple of weeks, including sudden nosebleeds, like when I sneezed or blew my nose or something. I think the mucous membrane were just fragile because of the PG irritation PLUS the cold, so they cracked easily, and would bleed. Vaping can really dry out the mouth and sinus/nasal passages, and I think a high level of PG can make it worse.

I'm amazed nobody's asked you the most obvious question...

You aren't vaping in your nose, right?

 

[ShariR]

Is your mouth dry? Are you thirsty? Does your vape taste off? Dry nose, sinus? These are signs that you are not drinking enough water. Drink a lot of water, then drink more. Do it all day long not just when you think you need to. Coffee, soda, beer, wine etc. will not do the trick. It needs to be water.
