Hello
Welcome to HMC.
According to your complaints of bruises and bloodsneezing it could be due to your medications following angioplasty. Both Brillinta (Ticagrelor) and Ecosprin (enteric coated Asprin) are blood thinners. They inhibit the action platelet aggregation, stop/delay the blood clotting mechanism. So they can cause bruises and bleeding. If symptoms are persisting consult your treating cardiologist, he may adjust the dose of these drugs accordingly.
