Bruising.

[Kkarlak]

So, it is almost 8 months since I had my 2 stents fitted after a heart issue.

It just occurred to me that I no longer seem to be getting bruised like I used to. It seemed to be that I had constant bruising, whether it just appeared, or as a result of a minor bump. Could appear pretty much anywhere, but more likely legs and arms.

To get fit I am taking part in walking football and got a good whack on ankle last night (some of those ladies are brutal with their tackling😆), so much so that it is sore this morning and I did think I would get a huge bruise, but nothing..

Meds haven't changed from what I was prescribed in January.

Just curious if this is normal, has my body kind of "adapted" to the meds ? Being a worrier, there is part of me thinking perhaps the meds are no longer thinning my blood like they should be doing.. Just after some thoughts initially, but will put a call into the GP next week I think.

Hello

It seems for you that this could be normal but glad you have an appointment so you can just check with your Doctor

Let us know how you get on x

I think maybe you are on blood thinners after your op. I might be wrong but I imagine that is what is causing your bruising.

Yes, it is the meds. My observation is that I am not getting anywhere near the amount of bruising that I was a few months ago.
