Question : I've been having some recent issues. Bruising under top of ring fingers and gone next day with no injury. Then had the same issue between my thighs. I have been feeling weak and tired with some shortness in breath. Also some pressure in my chest and shaky possibly from coffee. My boss claims I have been having some memory issues lately.

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Random bruises can occur due to a number of issues, and so I would recommend a few investigations to you in order to adequately search and find the cause for the same:

+Vitamin B9, B12 and C levels
+Clotting profile
+Bleeding profile
+Liver health
+Renal health
+Complete blood count

These investigations may also shed some light on any underlying cause the can result in memory related issues as well. In addition to this, I would also like to inquire on any changes lately in your menstrual cycle like:

+Changes in duration of cycle
+Changes in bleeding
+Libido changes
+Mood fluctuations
+Other pre-menopausal symptoms

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.

Best wishes.
