Yes with the medications you take and the ailments you suffered, simple brusing leading to extended extravasation of blood underneath the hit-area could be due to deranged clotting mechanisms in your body. And perhaps, going by your age, reduced esteogen levels also promote anti-clotting environment. I advise you to consult your doctor and get the blood investigations done accordingly. If everything comes out to be normal, you may as well consider taking jus paracetamol as pain killers and avoid other forms of it.
