Hi,thanks for your query to my HCM clinic.I understand the concerns you have as you are in 60's.Its the hypertension and the genetic factors which causes the Cherry hematomas-as a result of the broken capillaries in Cherry hemangiomas-or senile angiomas or Campell de Morgans spots.Anti-hypertensive drugs.Medications dont cause it.Aging and genetic factors are the cause of cherry hematomas.Hope you would be relieved of your query. with this reply.I would love to help and Wellcome to HCM for more queries.
