thanks for your query.
There are two possible causes for your nasal bleed -
1. whether you are taking Ecosprin and Clopitab
2. hypertension.

Just check your drug list for above two drugs & if so then consult to Cardiologist for change over.
consult your physician for BP and stabilize it.

Mean while just take any normal saline nasal spray Like nazone spray.

Thanks a lot, take care

Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM
Coronary artery bypass surgery is a surgical procedure performed to relieve angina . Early initiation of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs reduces the incidence of graft occlusions after coronary artery bypass surgery. Therefor it seems that nosebleed is the indirect side effect of coronary surgery( Early initiation of anticoagulant drugs). Please consult your surgeon for better diagnosis.

Thanks
