might be anemia, yes go to the doctor, they can run blood tests and see what is up. Are you taking a multivitamin, getting enough protein, I think beef (dark red meat) has more iron in it than other meats.
Do you usually bump into stuff alot or do you now seem to be more uncoordinated? The docs can check your reflexes, reaction time, look for neurological signs of anything going on.

It could be low iron or low in vitamin C

i was recently told i have severe iron deficiency anemia...and even after that didn't make the connection with the bruising til someone on here mentioned it, i had no idea it was a symptom i just thought i was abusing myself in my sleep or something :noway: :laugh:

can't hurt to get it checked out

I has no idea bruising was a sign of anemia... :indifferent:
I should get it checked out, I guess... It can't hurt! :happy:

yep, many times bruising easilly is caused by mineral deficiencies (iron, calcium, selenium...etc) best to get that checked out, anemia sucks!

You should probably go to the doctor. I was experiencing the sme things. Any little bump or scratch even, would cause me a bruise. I went to the docotor and it turned out my blood wasnt clotting fast enough due to a vitamin K difficiency. At the time i wasnt really into green veggies which contain vitamin K so the doctor gave me Vitamin K tablets to take daily. Since then ive definitely seen an improvement.
