Bruising without reason

[cloudxo]

In 15 hours this is how worse my bruising has gotten, 111 just telling me I'll get an appointment within 3 days without even seeing a photo of it, should I go to a&e or at I being dramatic. Never experienced this so I have no idea what to do

I'd be freaking out and be looking to get seen ASAP. Do you have private GPs in the UK? If you don't feel confident going to A&E you could try them. I wouldn't be sitting around for 3 days though for sure.

Phone your GP back and ask them what to do as it has gotten worse. They should point you in the right direction.
Of they don't consider minor injuries or a and e

Random bruising of often something out of balance in your blood meaning you have less platelets for clotting. One example is leukemia as mentioned previously as your blood is full of cancerous white blood cells. There are other things that would give the same effect

if you have not injured yourself in any way and this is happening for no reason then I would get to a/e now. clotting problems or it could be worse/ this could very well be life threatening

Thankyou all for your advice, heading to a&e

Go to A&E asap. It could be just a low level of platelets but with it any small injury became very very serious.
Hope it will be resolved quickly.

I’m glad you’re going to A&E. I’d have said a walk-in centre today at the very least, certainly not 111.

Definitely go to A&E x

You really need to see a doctor.

Pleased you are going. Hope you get answers soon.

Coukd be allergic ReaX to meds my dd had this it was allergy to mefenamic acid
Are you taking meds ? Anti inflammatories?

I have this currently awaiting an appointment for a bown marrow biopsy. It could be anelia or a allergic reaction also

Hope you get seen quickly op! Just curious if you are on any antidepressants? Sertraline specifically? Because I've read multiple stories of people on this who bruise so much and all over!

Glad you’re going to A&E ; my DGM had this symptom when she had aplastic anaemia - However please note that she recovered and lived another 20 years!

If you honestly have no idea how you've done it, I'd get down to A&E sharpish.

Unexplained bruising like that can be a sign of sepsis, meningitis and even leukemia.

Have you started any new medication? My mum had something like this when she took naproxen and my husband got a lot of weird bruising when he started fluoxetine (Prozac)

glad you’re heading to get proper advise though!

I had this from Sertraline, not as many as that though! GP sent me to a&e for urgent bloods to rule out anything nasty before they would confirm Sertraline was to blame. Hope you're seen soon!

Go to A and E now.

My friend lost her sister to thrombocytopenia which came on very suddenly. Its as quick as meningitis

Please go to A&E for that. Possibly many things but could be ITP if no reason for the bruises and could need immediate attention.

Like a PP, my first thought was leukemia. I hope it's nothing serious.

I'd also be getting this checked, glad you've gone.

Keep us updated op hope it's nothing serious

Glad you've gone - this can sometimes be triggered by exercise - I got it quite a bit at one point down to a combination of an anti depressant that suppresses clotting exercise causing capillary damage in the muscles (normal) and being a bit low on iron.

Good luck. I bruise awful and my legs look similar sometimes but the bruises don’t all come at once, I accumulate them throughout the week etc so they’re in various colours.

in your shoes I would also have head off to A&E. good luck x

Was going to say similar my son got aplastic anaemia at the age of four and he would bruise very suddenly like this! Please get some bloods done!

Amy update OP. Hope your ok. Well done for going
