Filed under: bruises 

In the last 3 weeks, and before in the past I get (3 in the last 3 weeks) bruises I cannot explain. They range from a purple line on my thigh, like someone traces my veins with a marker, to a dollar coin size bruise on my lower left abdome. I dont bump into stuff, and i dont bruise easily normally, and i cannot explain this, what can this be a symptom of?
added details: i dont bruise easily, and I just feel bad in general. im nauseaus, dropped some weight with no effort whioch for me is UNUSUAL. I am tired alot.

Check with your MD. you may need to have blood work done..
or you could be hitting and bumping yourself and not even be aware you are doing it.

    3. I am highly prone to bruises. However, I am also accident prone as well. I bruise if you look at me, but I am also anemic,meaning I have a low iron count in my blood. I found this out each time I have ever tried to give blood and everytime a Dr. has taken my blood for other tests. It could be something as simple as anemia, but if this is not normal for YOU, then you should go see your doctor. Anything that doesn't normally happen, go see your doctor. Better safe than sorry.
    Good Luck!:)

    4. please go to the doctor asap.
    This could be a sign of something serious, there are lots of things which could cause bruises to suddenly start appearing, things like diabetes, blood problems, infection etc etc. Even cancer.

    This combined with the weight loss is worrying and you really should go to a professional asap.

    Look up "bruises appearing for no reason" or "unexplained bruises" in google and click on some of the links. I will try to edit with a list but I can't copy and paste right now because my mouse won't let me right click for some reason.
    Good luck I hope it's one of the minor things but dont wait any longer. Getting it treated quickly is the best whatever might be wrong, and if it's no big deal thats ok..it's always better safe than sorry.

    5. Wow, I don't know but you should see a doctor. Bruising easily with no other symptoms is often a Vitamin K deficiency, but in your case, it's probably something else.

    Are you sure they are bruises and not varicose veins/broken blood vessels/capillaries?
