What Causes Purple Bruises On The Legs And Chills When Previously Diagnosed With POT Syndrome?

I all of a sudden starting freezing all over, including teeth chattering uncontrollably. I have a heat pad and several blankets on and cannot warm up. I have big purple bruises on my legs. I have been sick with a cough and upper respiratory infection but I dont feel sick now. I also have a history of P.OT Syndrome. What could I be experiencing?

Hi,

Sudden hypotension or exposure to cold may lead to teeth chattering. Some patients it is may be habit of grinding of teeth. Emotional stress or neurological disorder may can cause this problem. Bruises may be due to allergy or thrombocytopenia or clotting factors deficiency or trauma, etc.

Please consult your physician get examined for viral fever that may lead to thrombocytopenia or rash with hypotension. Drink plenty of fluids, avoid cool drinks and freeze water.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
