What Causes Small Bruises On The Stomach While Having Asthma?
I have three small bruises on my stomach. I don t remember bumping into anything. I had surgery two years ago for a fundapolation (sp?) Do you think these bruises have anything to do with that surgery? I have also been coughing a lot and an treated for asthma. Any thoughts about the bruises? I am not in in pain..

Hi i do care for your concern.
Due to repeated coughing the pressure on the venous side will increase and will lead to rupture of small blood vessels.
In your condition the above mechanism might happened.
Need not panic as this a trivial situation that will resolve on its own.
However its advisable to continue medication for asthma.
Hope i have answered your question, If you have more doubts feel free to ask.
Thank you.
