Bruises

[Suzz7]

I have the same problem. Both my GP and cardiac nurse said it's nothing to worry about, quite normal whilst take clopidogrel and aspirin. GP carried out blood test, everything was normal. I think it's good for you to see your GP, they will put your mind to rest.

That's it when you take anticoagulants you have to be really careful not to bang anything or cut yourself!

I have shins like a toddler. Try Artica cream from Poundland. It help it heal quicker

Snap.

As others say, I too get multiple bruises without noticing. I did get one bad knock so stopped Clopidogeral for several days and it cleared up.!

My experience is the same as the others here. Bruises from unknown bumps & bangs. Shaving has to be done carefully and any cuts need to have pressure on them for a a long time to get it to stop bleeding. I use plasters a lot more than I use to! Take care but don't worry about it.

yeah clopidogrel is a blood thinner for blocked arteries ,and if you have a blood test it takes a little longer to stop bleeding cos of the tablets
