I am a runner, 45 years old, 45 miles per week average. Got a sinus infection with very swollen sinuses. Doc put me on a week of oral antibiotics & used Nasonex for 3 weeks. Only ran 2X while using the Nasonex without incident. Stopped using Nasonex on Sunday, and ran 10 miles. My nose started bleeding at 5 miles out and bled for a while, and i was spitting some bloody mucos. Same thing happened on Monday and Tuesday, but not as bad as Sunday - just some kinda watery mucosy bloody stuff oozing out of my nose. I have no history of sinus problems.
I use flonase and nasonex before (not at the same time) for my hay fever in springtime.
Nosebleed is common, it is not an issue, not really been a concern for me. From what I know, it is the steriods in the meds that makes the membrane thin and susceptible to breaks, so you get nose bleeds. I guess as long as you are not hemophillac (sp), you are ok.
I had done mountain hikes (here in Vancouver, it is called teh Grind - 3k distance, 1000ft vertical - time is like a 10k), I get nose bleeds. I have had minor bleeds during runs, usually not long.

Think this is OK or should I go back to the doc?
I've used Nasonex in the past for sinus infections due to allergy problems. I got to the point where I would get a gushing nosebleed just bending over. Needless to say, I stopped using it. I replaced it with OTC decongestant/antihistamines and finally solved my problem.
