Random bruising again after normal blood tests, should I return to GP?

A couple months ago attended GP as seemed to be getting random bruises everyday, new ones, they did bloods and bloods were fine, couldn't really put it down to anything.

Fast forward to today, it's started again, I keep waking with random bruises and I'm a light sleeper so I know I'm not moving around too much in the night, brand new one this morning, and also woke up with this too and it's new on my foot.

Any advise? Don't know whether to go back to GP or not.

Yes go again. However don't assume you're not bumping as you don't actually know you are not! Your sleep can be deeper in partsnofvtge cycle plus bruising can change as you age.

At the next appointment you can ask your GP a) what potential causes they can rule out, b) what other potential causes exist that they are opting not to investigate and c) in what circumstances you should return.
