Hello. I just read through your question.
Nose bleeds often occur because the mucosa that line the nasal passages get dry, crack, and bleed. This could be happening because of the asthma itself, or as a result of the Qvar. In either case, using Saline nasal drops 4-5 times per day will help alleviate the problem. The drops moisturize the inside of the nose so they don't dry out. If this method doe not work after 4-5 days, i recommend consulting with your doctor.
