Nosebleeds?

I've never had issues with nosebleeds until I seriously started my HIT. Now 2-3X a week I am having hella bad nosebleeds, I'm assuming it is because when I get my heart rate above 90% of max I turn into a nose breather - but I don't know? It has never happened during a workout until tonight when it happened twice! And no, there is really nothing more embarrassing than being on the stairmaster next to a total hottie and having blood drip down to your shirt!

Has anyone else had this problem or is it just me?

    I have regular nosebleeds from dry air.. mostly in the winter time... but I'm used to them just randomly coming from nowhere... I roll up a small piece of paper towel or toilet paper or tissue and stuff it up my nose and keep going about my business... that's a good look too :)

    usually within 1-2 soaked pieces of tissue it will stop bleeding =)

    If its a good amount of blood get your blood and happens regularly, get your bp checked. Nosebleeds are I sign of severe hypertension.
