Bruise On Inner, Upper Right Arm, Thigh, Swollen Foot. Increased Heart Medication Dosage. Reason?
Hi there! Please help ASAP! My father-in-law has woken up with a new bruise today on his inner, upper right arm...he also has a deep bruise on the back of his upper thigh on the same side as well as a swollen foot on the right side as well. He also had to triple his heart medication dosage in order to keep it in appropriate range. What do you think this would indicate?
