I had a nose op because of severe bleeding. This was Sept 2022. I had two before that. It has left me with complications instead of mucus coming out of my nose it is going down my throat which I have to bring up. I flush my nose with salt water as my consultant advised. Would like to know if anyone else has had these problems.

I have not had a nose op, but do suffer from bleeding which I can control sometimes, but in December could not and spent 2 days in hospital. I find it very frightening.
The eye drops I take for Glaucoma are Brominodine and Saflutan. When I was taking Azopt it was far worse. The eye drops cause the nose vessels to enlarge, in some people, and then breakdown hence the bleeding. I have researched about 20 other drops to hopefully find some that do not cause bleeding, but to no avail. It is difficult to check since possible bleeding is not mentioned.
