nose bleeding

Hello community,
In the last few years i have been suffering from frequent nose bleeds. I didn't have this issue throughout my life, but has really increased recently, and is affecting my daily life negatively, worrying about the increased possibility of infecting others with my hbv. I have had some treatments with a ENT specialist without any lasting help. Is there anyone here with similar issue, and what have you done to limit/stop this problem?
Thank you

It may not be liver related. Everybody is different so although calcium may be in range you may need a little bit more. Don't know where you live or work but it could be dry air. In the past, I had digestive problems, I was overweight, I was under the weather every 3 months or less. Although I found about my hep b less than a year ago, I lost 50lbs, haven't been sick in a very long time and feel great. I haven't changed my diet too much, still have some bad habits, take only vit D3 every day and trying live me life. Even today, if something starts to hurt I automatically think it is my liver. Good luck!

Hello Airquake and Royal36,
Thank you both for your replies:) My last lab tests a year ago showed calcium level within range, but i have  also read nose bleeding could be related with liver disease. Liver disease could lead to decrease in blood coagulation and i think that could be one reason of increased nose and gum bleeding. My INR value was measured to be 1,1 which was within the range 0,9-1,2.
