Nosebleeds

[nsd_user663_3925]

Evening all,

Today I've had two nosebleeds, it's not something I usually suffer from. Does anyone know if it could be caused in any sort of way by quitting?

Hi Meat

Are you using anything to quit Mate ?

[nsd_user663_3925]

Yes, everytime I get a craving I stick a knitting needle up my nose, the pain makes me forget all about fags ;).

On the serious side, I'm on patches.

Never heard of that one!!!

I think there are some odd things that happen when you quit!

I used to sweat like that bloke on the linx ad when I smoked, but don't any more. I've noticed it on previous quits to.

I don't think that I've heard anyone else experiencing that side effect :eek:

I've heard of it happening, but usual rub for me is anything you're unsure about go see the doc'. Got enough to think about with the quit without fretting about possible side effect or not

I think its sometimes a side effect of Champix rather than the quit, are you taking champix?

I'm using patches.

I'll have a chat with the nurse when I go for my fortnightly visit on Tuesday.

I'm using patches.

You could stick one over each nostril that might help

Unbelievable, 2 years on, week 2 again and I start getting nosebleeds again.

Does that sound more sensible in my head :confused:

In a word "yes" lol :confused:.
