A member asked:

With chronic a/f and severe nosebleeds, i'm off warfarin and using aspirin. with no antidote to new anticoagulants, what are my options as i age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See ENT doctor: In general, atrial fibrillation does not cause nose bleeds. However, anticoagulants certainly may. You need a good look at the side of the nose by a rhinologist (nose specialist) to determine whether there is a blood vessel that could be cauterized. There are several areas of the nose that are the sources of bleeding. The doctor can determine the site and hopefully stop this problem.
