Daily nosebleeds, cause for concern?
Hello everyone, glad there is a sub for everything as I was coming to a dead end with this issue. My husband has had nosebleeds for most of his life, usually once a week or so, sometimes more when the air is dry. I’ve noticed in the past couple years that the frequency and intensity has ramped up significantly. He gets them almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day. He was working a labor intensive job at one point, and had to come home early several times due to his nosebleeds and lightheadedness before getting another job that wasn’t as physically demanding.
He has brought this up several times to his doctors throughout the years however they just tell him the air is dry, use saline and send him on his way. Even when he uses saline it doesn’t do much. I admittedly didn’t believe he was actually using it so I was reminding him throughout the day, and still he was bleeding. It would help here and there but not enough to make a difference.
I’m thinking of going in with him the next time he sees his doctor, however I’m not sure what to say or ask for so he can get proper help and answers regarding this. It inhibits his life where he misses out on work, time with family, even his own hobbies as he’s sitting in the bathroom for up to 30 mins at a time dizzy and bleeding. I’m worried it could be something more serious, but of course I don’t want to think of a worst case scenario. What should I do to support my husband and ensure his doctors take this seriously?
