bloody nose

Posted by Jman on December 03, 2002 at 14:54:40:
I started using my Respironics Bi-PAP (21/17) last Wednesday and for the last two or three days, whenever I blow my nose, there is a little blood. I have a heated humidifier and I have messed with the settings (5 levels) every night and it doesn't seem to make a difference and actually seemed worse at the higher levels. Is this normal? Its not a full blown nose bleed, but I don't usually see blood when I blow my nose. It seems my air levels are pretty high compared to a lot of those I have seen posted here, so maybe this is a result of the high levels.
