A member asked:
I have recently noticed a lot of bruising. i was taking a night time sleep aid regularly, and thought that might be contributing, so i scaled back. i also don't eat a lot of meat but have a decently well balanced diet. what else can i do?

Evaluation needed: Excessive bruising can be caused by problems with platelet function (made much worse by aspirin or other NSAIDs like ibuprofen), or with clotting factor abnormalities, or by other disorders of the connective tissue. A reaction to certain medications can trigger a more serious problem that leads to low platelets. Best to get checked by a doctor.
