Question

I have been easily bruising, and what appears to be small ...


Sent to Health Experts November 13, 2005 10:49 a.m.

I have been easily bruising, and what appears to be small scratches get very bad and take extra long to heal. In the past few days my muscles have started cramping and yesterday I wound up sleeping all day (and I could still sleep more) - this is very out of the ordinary for me.

Easily brusing can be caused by medications, a bleeding or clot disorder, and other conditions that affect clotting.

As far as muscle cramping and sleeping, it could be that you are coming down with a cold or flu. You definately want to see your doctor though especially with the easy bruising.
