I used to get bad nosebleeds as a kid. Still get them on occasion but not like my childhood. Once had to visit a local clinic while in podunk SE Kentucky visiting family to have my nostrils cauterized to stop the bleeding. Curious if any of you others with sinus issues have had the nose bleeds as well? I see Seth mentioned it.

I forgot I have used the sprays as well. They seem to help with inflammation when allergies are really flared up.

No bloody nose here either but many times if I were to stick a Kleenex up my nose and pat the septum wall I'd get light blood on it but nothing running out though.

Yes, I had severe nose bleeds as a kid. I've been twice cauterized and a third time during my deviated septum surgery. I think I'm all good and properly fixed up now.
Yes, insurance covered my surgery, CPAP, and Doctor visits.
