I am 24 and a teacher. For the past 2 days, I have been having random dizzy spells, and have found small bruises along the veins in my legs. I have also been experiencing numbness and tingling in my arms and hands. This morning I woke up with a large bruise on the back of my calf. What could be causing this?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a coagulation disorder or an infection. Coming to this point, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- Complete blood count
- Coagulation tests
- Blood electrolytes.
In the meantime, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
