so im back with the same problem that i had about 2 months ago. i had about 5 small random bruises on my arms & legs around early-mid july, with a couple of bigger ones before that. after going to the gp they went away for about a month & a half. and now im getting bruises again. previously the gp said that he isn't worried, & said that if it was serious, the bruises would be much bigger & painful, & wouldn't heal for over a month. he also said that the anemia test i had done a couple of months before that showed that i had low iron levels [although not anemic], so he put it down to that. now in the last couple of weeks or so, i've had about 4 small bruises, & 1 slightly larger one, which healed after a few days. but now i also noticed a small rash on my thigh [it doesn't itch/hasn't changed size], & also 2 purple spots underneath the skin on my arm & knee. also i've had a pain on my inner elbow which feels like when you get a bruise after having blood drawn. i feel like i had slightly elevated temperature a couple of times, though i measured it once & it was 37 degrees which was normal, & i think the hot feeling in my head/ears may have been caused by lack of sleep/tiredness, & my hands/feet were cold. i had a fairly larger bruise about 3 months ago, which seems to have left a mark of slight discoloration as if it hasn't yet fully heeled, though it doesn't hurt & it started to heel after a normal period of time. i had a shelf fall on my arm at work recently leaving a very large/painful bruise, which healed fairly quickly. also i've been hyper-aware of my weight this past week, checking if im losing weight, which i don't think i am. would it be a noticeable loss? i guess my diet isn't the best, i just googled iron-rich foods & i don't eat any of them on a regular basis, apart from lettuce/cucumber/tomato salad every other day. so part of my brain is telling me that it's low iron levels, but i don't think i feel fatigued, nor am i tired or pale, although i do get a pounding headache at the back of my head after climbing stairs sometimes & often my feet and hands are cold. do i have to tick all the anemia symptoms? or can it only be some? ive uploaded pics of all the recent symptoms for reference. just want someone to put this into perspective for me & tell me im not dying. apologies for the bad structure of this text.
bruises again....
