Have Purple Blotches On Legs, Headache, Loss Of Energy And Stomach Ache. Any Treatment?
Question: i have purple blotches on legs headache and no energy.also occassional stomache pain which improves slowly after passing stool
Hi there.
The purple blotches on your legs appear to be bruises or 'ecchymoses' in medical terms.
The headache & energy levels need not be linked.
Are you on any oral contraceptives?
Please get some basic blood tests CBC (complete blood tests), ESR, Bleeding parameters (BT/CT/PTT) & stool routine examination at a local laboratory.
This will give you a clear picture.
In the interim, recommend plenty of oral fluids & hydration & STOP any oral contraceptive pills & consider any other medication ingested as a potential causative agent.
Do you have a history of acidity/heartburn & /or are stress levels high?
A visit to a gastroenterologist may be in order & suggest you fix up an appointment for the same.
Online, we can at best suggest pointers. Hoping have pointed you out in a direction to make an informed choice! Cheers & Good Luck!
