: Are you on blood thinners for the PEs? Did you see a lung doctor to help determine why you would have 2 PEs? If not, you should see a lung doctor to see why you would be having these blood clots. If you are on blood thinners, that would help explain the easy bruising. So, start by seeing a lung doctor to diagnose the problem. Good luck!!
