Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has a half dollar size plus back and blue bruise on his abdomen. There is also a small hard spot under the bruise. He did not suffer any physical trauma. It has been there about a week. His medical history includes Parkinson s disease (diagnosed 2 years ago). He also has 4 cardiac stents. His bp and other basics are fine. He does take PLavic and meds for parkinson and depression. Any ideas.
Dear sir/madam, the cause for your bruise might be due to antiplatelet drugs ( plavix/aspirin ) which are prescribed to avoid stent thrombosis/ re blockage. Consult your treating cardiologist, show him the bruise and if he feels the same, then the dosage can be reduced. Platelets levels in blood needs to be checked also.
