What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Easy Bruising?
Hello. I had an MI in December 2017. I have been taking Brilinta 90mg, twice daily. I am currently attending cardiac rehab and notice that I get very short of breath during a bike exercise that I would have normally been able to do without so much distress. The intial SOB from the Brilinta has improved at rest but it continues to affect me during exercise. I am also bruising badly on my legs and arms without any known injury. Will this ever improve?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
That bruising may be due to Brillinta. So ask our cardiologist to change it to other medicine or stop it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
