Weird Feeling Through Out Right Arm After Stents Put, Reddish Bruise. Need To Be Concerned ?
I had stints put in about two years ago. I had a weird feeling thruout my right arm . It went away and then a small bruise showed up, about the size of a ,quarter then it got larger thruout the day abut the size of a softball. It was a redish color in the middle with purple outline. I had a drink of Vodka and the bruise is going away. It has just faided but still their. Could this be a sign of a blood clot or something I need to be concerned about..I am 48 and I weigh app. 200 pounds and 6 2.. I was drinking for two weeks heavily with not sleeping much or eating. Then I stopped for 3 - 4 days and then this is when this happend with my arm and bruising .. Thank you for your time, AAAAA

hello there!
Thank you for asking,
Bruising with stent history and purplish blotches are purpuraes and they are due to deranged blood count or more specific low platelets.
So have a CBC profile, PT APTT INR and seek a hematologist opinion for it.Reduce weight , modify lifestyle and dietry habits and have regular follow ups.
You need a Doctor to rule out the etiology for these purpuraes.
