What Could Cause Repeated Sneezing And Nosebleed After Undergoing Colonoscopy?
I just had a colonoscopy this morning. I am now sneezing non-stop with runny nose and now nose bleed. I want to make sure these are all common affects after this procedure and curious if these symptoms are in fact related to the procedure itself. Thank you !

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is not clear if you are having any side effects of any medication which were given during the procedure. There are patients who have sneezing and runny nose after being given anaesthesia like propofol which induces sneezing and runny nose after the procedure. Colonoscopy itself is not related to your sneezing and runny nose. Nose bleed might be due to repeated sneezing.
