What Causes Bruises On Lower Knuckles?

Last night I had bruises on my lower knuckles (near the fingernail). No pain, no memory of doing anything to cause it. I m on a blood thinner (Coumadin), without problems of bruising. Had a Mitral valve replacement 5 years ago. Doing okay. Just switched from Losartan over a month ago to Micardis, and was to be on the look out for dizziness or feeling tired. The bruises are much lighter (almost gone) this morning. Ideas? Thanks, Nancy
