Hard to say. My husband was just dx 10/31/12, the heat has been running and his platelets are low. When we told his Dr. About him having nosebleeds his Dr ordered a transfusion. He needed one anyway w/ or w/o nosebleed bc his hgb at that point were droping and at 5. W platelets 14. So could have been a combination heat/platelets. I do know not to long after I finally broke down and bought a humidifier (in Houston!) bc the heater was drying us out.
I think w anything when in doubt inform your nurse/Dr. At least then you have peace of mind.
