Hi everyone,
I'm blatantly seeking reassurance here! :)
I have been having increasing nosebleeds out of one nostril since I was only a few weeks pregnant. I'm now 28 weeks with twins.
I can barely breathe out of my left nostril and I bleed from that side almost every day... it's not a proper gush - but still substantial and bright red.
I saw an ENT doctor about a month ago who had a quick look and said - all OK should settle down after pregnancy. He said to use vaseline to keep airways moist. He couldn't see far though as I have a deviated septum on that side.
I am also on injectible blood thinners and aspirin.
I know I know... this is probably one of those weird pregnancy things... but I keep worrying I've got a tumour up my nose - despite lots of evidence to the contrary!
Has anyone here experienced nose issues whilst pregnant or have a deviated septum. Blood just freaks me out big time! :scared15:
Thank you.
