Having Tiny Bruise Across Wrist. Suffering From Severe Arythmia. Taking Metoprolol. Cause?

I have had several picc lines put in over the past week one leaving tiny red bumps spread across my wrist with the bruise. None of the others have the bumps. What could it be. After this... The first one during labour and delivery...12 hrs later I experienced an unexplained and severe arythmia which lasted for 3 days until now treated with metoprolol. Could thus be a result of the red bumpy iv?
