The term "thin blood: Is usually used to refer to anemia. Even with a normal hemoglobin you can have low platelets with a predisposition to bruising.

Your blood can : Be thin because you may have a low cell count in platelet, red blood cells, white blood cells or coagulation proteins. All above are components of your blood. If you are having easy bruising you may be having trouble with the amount and/or quality of your platelet and second a problem with quantity of coagulation protein. Blood test to r/o above by primary care doctor. Yes your hr can go faster.
