Undergone Nuclear Stress Test. Deep Bruising Appeared On Leg. Should I Be Concerned?
Question: I had anuclear stress test yesterday and have deep bruising today on legs. Should I be concerned
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Thank you for your query.
Bruising on legs is not a recognized side effects of nuclear stress test.
Common causes of bruising should be considered.
Trauma, decreased platelet or dysfunction of platelet & coagulation abnormality are the possibilities.
Check other parts of the body for bruising or any bleeding tendency through nose, gum, stool, skin etc.
I think some relative investigation should be done like platelet count & coagulation profile to exclude a bleeding disorder.
It is better to see a doctor for it.
I hope I have been some help of your query.
Please write for further query.
Take care.
