Bruising

[crapmemory]

I seem to bruise easily these days. Am I deficient in something or is it an age thing? TIA

do you take aspirin ?

How old are you? It could be a number of things but getting older doesn't help, as I know :o(

I agree with the post of Buenchico and anneasquith makes a good point.

However, if you are feeling "out of sorts" at the moment, perhaps a little tired or short of breath, then a simple blood test by your GP will reassure you that all is well.

Thank you all for your replies. I've come to the conclusion that it is age related (I'm 60) :)
