Brief Answer:
I need further details.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Yes, aspirin is an anti platelet drug, so it reduces the functioning of platelet and can cause easy bruising.
However, it is important to rule out other causes also.
So, answer the following:
1. Any joint pains?
2. Any oral ulcers?
3. Any frequent reddening of eyes?
4. How do you get bruises? Spontaneous or on trauma?
5. For what basic problem are you taking Aspirin and Pravachol?
6. Any history of bleeding from any site?
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me and answer these questions preferably in point wise manner.
Stay Healthy.

Hello Doctor,
No pains, no ulcers, no red eyes, no bleeding anywhere.
I bruise easily whenever I bump into something accidently.
Baby aspirin and 20mg each day Pravachol are for a bit too high cholesterol problem.
Thank you,
XXXX

Brief Answer:
Detail Follows.
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend.
It seems it is due to Aspirin only.
To be sure i would advise you following:
1. Hemogram with Platelet count
2. PT/INR and apTT
The best way out is to avoid trauma, if we find any abnormality in the report we would treat you accordingly.
I would advise you to review with me with your reports.
Stay Healthy.
