Side effect ?

[*Rachel*]

I have to ask the question even though its a little bizarre. It has been a month since I quit smoking and started vaping and I couldn't be happier. There is a small issue that has come a long with it, I am getting nose bleeds. This doesn't happen often maybe a couple times a week but more than I ever had in the past. I am fairly confident this is just due to not drinking enough water since I see there is a lot of talk about dehydration with vaping. I just was hoping to get confirmation of the dehydration being the culprit and see if any others have expierenced the same. So have you had anything weird or similar to this when you started vaping?

*Please note I am not seeking medical advice, if it was a real problem I would most certainly call a Dr. Also I am consciously making an effort to drink more water.

I know you're looking for answers from some one that has had this happen to them, and it has not to me. I do recall though someone else posting about this a couple of days ago. Most all that answered pretty much said it's a cause from getting off Cigs and your body trying to heal its self. And yes, the need to drink lots and lots of water. Personally, I don't see how anyone can Vape and NOT drink lots and lots of water. My mouth stays SO dry while Vaping...which is good I guess, as it's always a good thing to drink lots of water.

Best of luck to you!!

Thank you, thats what I had figured was the issue. Sometimes its just nice to know that your not the only one

I haven't had nosebleeds but, I have noticed my nose being a little dry. I started using Ocean saline spray to help this out. It took care of it after a couple of days. No problems since. Hope you get it sorted out. Good luck.

Sometimes the nasal area will become dehydrated. I use a lubricating nasal gel whenever I sense dryness. Works quite well.

I will definately look into the spray or gel, thanks for the great idea.

Welcome , and I went through the nosebleed thing . Only mine was worse than yours . Of course I live in a desert , so it's made worse , by location alone . Was really , not enough water . And I also used some saline to keep my nose moist . Seemed to do the trick . Good Luck

1.blood where it has no business being is bad. if your symptoms persist, see your doctor immediately. conversation over. that being said- see if more hydration stops your symptoms. if no see rule 1

I agree with the last post. It is probably from dehydration but see a doctor to be sure.

Yup, make sure you are hydrated. I always have a glass of water within arms reach while I vape; I just make it a good habit. If the climate is dry, that further compounds the issue, plus if you have seasonal allergies, you could have nasal irritation. Vaping does dry out your airways. Get yourself some saline spray as well.

I got nosebleeds from all sorts of weird issues. When I was doing hyperbaric oxygen treatments, I'd drink water like crazy, and I still got nosebleeds from the different mix in the atmosphere. There wasn't anything the techs could do when I was locked in to a chamber so I lay there bleeding. If that didn't concern the doc and nurses who were right there monitoring a hospital patient, then I figure nose bleeds aren't too much of a big deal.

If you're young, don't have high blood pressure, aren't on blood thinning drugs, then the nose bleeds may certainly be dramatic but are benign. It's not worth a freak out in the vast majority of cases because it happens in the blood vessels in the front of the nose, not the back of the nose (in THAT case, you should see an ENT specialist).

In my NY accent, I'll say, "Don't worry 'bout it."

Get your blood pressure checked too.

i agree with me too, but i gotta say- i love the "Walter White" look you got going on there.

yup. bloody nose.
water consumption and saline spray have helped immensely.

Bleeding gums as well when first quitting the cigs.
