What Causes Bruise Marks On The Body When Diagnosed With High BP?
for the last few days bruise marks have been appearing on my body, 1 on my left breast, 2 on my left arm and one on my left thigh. I don t recall bumping myself in any of those places. Also, my bp is a little high -- 155/85. Any cause for concern?

Hello,
The high blood pressure doesn't seems to be related to bruise in your case.
I suggest you investigate for coagulation problem and bleeding problem by PT, APTT, BT estimation.
You can take vitamin C 500 mg BD for five days.
You can apply topical vitamin K cream over bruise.
I suggest you get investigated for liver profile as well.
Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
