What Causes Bruises On The Arms And Legs While On Coumadin And Aspirin?
I suffered a heart attack on oct 27th and was put on 90mg brilinta and 5 mg coumadin and 81 mg asprin and I am just wondering if it is normal to have lots of bruises all over your arms and legs which hurt when they appear and have some bumps in them sometimes they only hurt for a little bit

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Being on anticoagulation medication makes you more prone to having these episodes because it makes your risk of bleeding higher. So bumping into object can easily cause bruises secondary to the medications you are on.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Samuel Parmar
